This edition will focus on the theme of restitution. Dr. Ndubuisi C. Ezeluomba, Curator of African Arts at Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in the USA, and CATPC artists Ced’art Tamasala, Matthieu Kasiama, and Mbuku Kimpala will speak about the loan of the Balot sculpture. In 2024, the sculpture temporarily returned to Congo as part of the Venice Art Biennale.
After this discussion, there will be several breakout sessions that explore the topic of restitution in more depth. For example: Where do you start with provenance research? What role do the involved communities play? What can artists contribute to restitution? And what can you do as a heritage professional within your museum? You can also join guided tours at the Wereldmuseum.

Ezeluomba (Curator of African Arts, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, United States), Camiel de Kom (Digital Heritage Coach at Colonial Collections Consortium), Sebastian Koudijzer (visual artist & theatre maker), Aram Lee (artist), Eelco van der Lingen (director of the Mondriaan Fund), Leandro Matthews Cascon (research fellow at NIAS), Wayne Modest (content director at Wereldmuseum), Paul Wolff Mitchell (researcher, Pressing Matter), Manuwi C.
