Great article by @NjabuloChipangu in @ConversationUK about the recent documentary film Dahomey. Key issues raised in relation to restitution, belonging and colonial violence. Very much worth a read!

For centuries Macassans visited Australia to trade with Indigenous people. Between the 1901-06 the Commonwealth reacted to this relationship, see my new open access article @AustHistAssoc @ANU_SDSC :

There’s a lot of excitement around the Oasis reunion at the moment. It reminds us of how we felt in October 2023 when, after nearly a century apart, this Zodiac beaker was reunited with its lid!

This Golden Bear-winning film about the claims of the people of Benin for treasures stolen from Dahomey, the return journey, and their meanings on home soil was mind-blowingly powerful in experimenting with form to tell a complex, multivocal story. #MIFF

I am full of sadness and admiration after seeing the @Library_Vic exhib of Hazara photographer Barat Ali Batoor's images and stories documenting his asylum-seeker journey. How uneven our world. How important to stand up for human rights and dignity.
