Museums have a huge role in challenging narratives and educating the public to #FightRacism.👐 📸Last October, the ICOM training programme “Museums for reconciliation: communities, pedagogies and memories” closed with a concert of “Integración Pacífica”, a group of Afrocolombian elderly women who have been displaced during the conflict and who have found in music a way of telling their stories and of overcoming their suffering. #IMD2020 #Museums4Equality

Brass Ife head, Wumunije (Osun State)
14th – early 15th c. AD, NCMM NigeriaThis head, which was created using the lost wax technique, is one of thirteen copper alloy "heads" discoverer in 1938 at Wunmonije Compound in Ife, Nigeria. Their portrait-like realism is unique in African art, and it was even suggested that such heads were evidence that Ife was the site of the lost civilization of Atlantis. 🔴 Sculpted objects, with very different features, are just one of the priceless categories of Western African heritage at risk of illicit traffic.
