Museums and cultural institutions are realizing there's nowhere to hide anymore when it comes to collections holding contested cultural materials. These success stories will hopefully inspire more communication, increased collaboration and amplify fair exchange. #MiPatriaNoSeVende #museums #repatriation #museumcollections #mexico
The return of contested cultural materials. It feels like we are starting to see more and more of these stories. Moving in the right direction. Rarely "easy", never fast, but absolutely essential. “We are really calling this process by a different name: as of a couple of weeks ago, we don’t call it repatriation, we call it rematriation because they are going to return to mother earth, to their mother communities” - Alicia Bárcena Ibarra #MiPatriaNoSeVende #museums #repatriation #museumcollections #mexico
