Groupe Afrique invites you to an evening of exchanges on

The restitution of African works of art
Thursday, March 28 at 7pm
at ESCP Europe - Site République - Amphi 5119
79 avenue de la République, 75011 Paris
(Subway Rue Saint Maur)
Dr Silvie Memel Kassi, Director of the Musée des civilisations de Côte d'Ivoire, will be on hand to discuss these issues.

Voted for by President Macron, the restitution to African countries of their works of art present in France was acted upon in principle by the report delivered at the end of 2018 by Bénédicte Savoy and Felwine Sarr.

The report refers to 90,000 works of art from sub-Saharan Africa in French public collections, and recommends "definitive and unconditional" restitution.

But what is the legal and practical feasibility of this approach? How has it been received on the African continent? How far along is the process?

Theevening will close with a cocktail reception.

Alexia Sena,
