In 2021, 26 objects from the Kingdom of Dahomey leave Paris and are returned to present-day Benin. How should these art treasures, stolen from ancestors, be received in a country which has reinvented itself in their absence?
Winner of the Golden Bear at the 2024 Berlinale, Mati Diop’s dynamic film DAHOMEY brings a dazzling sense of imagination to vital issues of self-determination and restitution.
