This is huge. Majority of the bronzes came from ancestral altars and sacred spaces.

First the bronzes, next all the money you have made from showcasing pillaged art from our ancestors.

@britishmuseum you’re next.

If you ask me, everyone who stole from my people should have a heavy tax added to the return of the artwork. And to pay for the first few years of return housing and maintenance of these items.

What’s so important about this? Let me educate you on an empire lost in Bronze.

I’m a huge advocate for returning all art to indigenous people because most museum visitors are white people. So, when they say they’re housing all this art in metropolis hubs, it’s not for indigenous groups to visit—it’s for consumption by the elite.

The art industrial complex.

I’m so much of an advocate that I’m going through academia to protect and preserve African spiritual art & technology.

In my latest research, I interviewed Iya Osun, Princess Adedoyin and she informed me how these works are not being properly taken care of in certain museums.
