This week, Jun.-Prof. Dr. Lucy Wasensteiner will be taking part in a round table discussion as part of the Heritage Week 2026 at The University of Bonn:
👉Ecologies of Restitution: Relational and More-than-Human Approaches to Repair
For descendants of the creators of museum collections, restitution is never simply about the return of material culture. Cultural belongings remain deeply entangled with histories of colonial dispossession, struggles for land and sovereignty, questions of belonging, and the right to narrate one’s own histories on one’s own terms. This roundtable brings together heritage studies scholars from the Universities of Cologne and Bonn to explore restitution as a relational and more-than-human process of repair.
🕛 Tuesday, 9 June, 16.00 – 17.30 Uhr
📍Global Heritage Lab, Poststraße 26, 1st Floor, 53111 Bonn
