- **Event Description**: Join us for a film screening of Dahomey at the Fowler Museum at UCLAAbout this EventWhat happens when looted heritage returns home? In Dahomey, acclaimed filmmaker Mati Diop offers a poetic and thought-provoking meditation on the 2021 repatriation of 26 royal artifacts from France to the Republic of Benin. Named after the pre-colonial West African kingdom of Dahomey, located in present-day southern Benin, the film blends archival footage, vérité-style observation, and imagined dialogue to explore the emotional, political, and cultural dimensions of restitution. As young people and elders engage with the returned treasures, Dahomey traces the tensions and hopes that emerge in the wake of colonial violence. The film poses urgent questions about historical ownership, cultural memory, and the right to narrate the past. Join us for a screening and conversation with Silvia Forni, Shirley and Ralph Shapiro Director at the Fowler and Karen Milbourne, J. Sanford Miller Family Director at The Fralin Museum of Art at the University of Virginia, as we reflect on heritage, identity, and the ongoing global reckoning with colonial legacies.
