This ground-breaking showcase of the Artistic Research and Communal Knowledge: Reconnecting with Returned Cultural Belongings (ARCK) looks to enlighten the exploration into the origins of 23 repatriated artifacts of Namibian material culture. Through this, it aims to pay homage to oral, performative and artisanal histories, preserved, and cared for within communities despite their suppression during colonialism and continued marginalization after Namibia's independence.
