[Slavery and colonisation in Europe. A fresh look at archaeology, heritage and museums]

By
André Delpuech
General Curator of Heritage, researcher at the Alexandre Koyré Centre of the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) and former director of the Musée de l'Homme in Paris (2017-2022).

Presented by:
Castilla López 
Lecturer in Aesthetics and Arts Theory area at the Faculty of Philosophy of the Universitat de València.

Just like the statues of figures linked to colonisation that have been destroyed in recent years, the heritage remains that have been restored in countries that were subjected to colonial slavery reflect, time and again, a Western vision of history and heritage.

Free of charge. Limited capacity
