Missing in Benin

Just before New Year 2020/2021, they began appearing on Dresden advertising spaces and remained hanging all over the Dresden city area until 11 January – 200 posters declaring that the five Benin Bronzes from the Museum für Völkerkunde collections were missing. The person behind the campaign, initiated by the Ethnographic Collections of the Free State of Saxony, was Emeka Ogboh. In our magazine August, he explained what his intentions were – we re-publish his interview here.
