Repatriation is the process by which museums and other institutions transfer possession and control over human remains, sacred objects, and items of cultural patrimony back to their place of origin. During the program we will examine some aspects of repatriated art and the issues surrounding it. The presentation includes a selection of objects from the museum that have been removed from their original context, as well as some that have been returned. Participants will be asked to think about various sides to these cases, and toward the end of the conversation, they will be asked to debate some of the issues.
