#OMD 5: Imagining Beyond Imperialism

On the 15th of October 2020, we were thrilled to host the 5th edition Object Movement Dialogues titled ‘Imagining Beyond Imperialism’—this was also our first virtual edition! Moderated by Dr. Njoki Ngumi, the conversation was between two wonderful people: Chao Tayiana (co-founder of Open Restitution Africa and Museum of British Colonialism) and Olivia Windham-Stewart (co-founder of the Museum of British Colonialism).

Olivia and Chao dove into the roles imperialism has played in the looting of objects. They also talk about their work at the Museum of British Colonialism and the importance of engaging the public beyond museums and digital spaces to create awareness.

We are grateful to have these discussions even in these difficult times, and thankful for everyone who continues to support our work. Catch the rest of their great conversation here.
