African art pieces stolen during colonization must return home: Chat with Benin Republic President (2/2)

My African cliché of the day is a man, a French art critic, named Didier Rykner, who founded The Art Tribune, and boldly said on French TV that when Africans created those workpieces, they did not realize that they were doing art, and that these objects were supposed to disappear eventually anyway! what audacity!  what condescendence, and above all, what ignorance! So, Africans only became aware of their own creativity only after the colonizers stole it? Well, let’s pay a surprise Sankofa tour to this so-called Art critic! Let’s get off and explain to him that indeed, these stolen works have never been, are not and will never be, art objects, made for the windows of Quai Branly museum, simply because most of them were made for worship, sacred objects, that should have never left the countries.
