STORYLINE:
Namibia opened an exhibition in the Namibian capital of Windhoek Thursday evening dedicated to exploring the cultural customs and identity of the country's looted art to retrieve its heritage.
The exhibition, themed "Artistic Research Communal Knowledge (ARCK): Reconnecting with Returned Cultural Belongings," features 23 cultural and historical belongings that were returned from the Ethnological Museum, a public institution dedicated to ethnology and culture in Berlin, Germany, to Namibia in May 2022.
The artifacts, including milk gourds, calabash, woven baskets, and traditional wooden cups, will be displayed at the National Art Gallery of Namibia in Windhoek, the capital of Namibia, until May 18, 2024.

"The exhibition is centered around 23 objects that were repatriated from Berlin, Germany, in 2022. And we have contracted seven community researchers and commissioned five artists to create work around these 23 objects to assist the Namibian society basically in unpacking the value and the meaning behind these objects - these cultural belongings."
The exhibition and ARCK project also aim to address and rectify the gaps in Namibia's history and cultural heritage caused by colonization by the German Empire (1884-1915) and South Africa (1915-1990).
In addition to the exhibition, educational programs such as panel discussions, workshops, and guided tours will be held aimed at enhancing the public's understanding of artistic research and communal knowledge and their role in preserving Namibian cultural heritage.
