MÉMOIRE ANCESTRALE | Épisode V: Nos artefacts sacrés dans leurs musées

The Laam Tchueng of Baham, the Mandu Yenu of Bamoun, the Bangwa Queen, talking drums, elephant masks: 40,000 Cameroonian objects sit in German museums. 90,000 African objects in France. In 2023, the sultan of Bamoun sits on his great-grandfather's throne at the Humboldt Forum in Berlin. The video goes viral. These are not art pieces. They are imprisoned ancestors. They must all come home.
