Reviews

»A profound act of rehumanization. These pages show how art can turn inventory numbers back into people, and collections back into contested sites of memory and care.«-- ""Yael Bartana, artist and filmmaker"" »At a time when provenance research is still haunted by the power of the colonial archive to hide its own violence, haunted by its absences and erasures, this brilliant book shows the importance of artistic practice to help us see what has long been unseen, ignored and forgotten. This is a powerful call to take the speculative, the imaginative, and the poetic seriously as we try to rehumanize those who have long been dehumanized by colonialism in the past but also today.«-- ""Wayne Modest, Director of Content, National Museum of World Cultures""
