[Nijmegen] English Subs : Dahomey (2024)

#This meetup is around a third-party (Lux) event, you can either purchase your ticket online or right before the session#

Synopsis:
From acclaimed filmmaker Mati Diop, Dahomey is a poetic and immersive work of art that delves into real perspectives on far-reaching issues surrounding appropriation, self-determination and restitution. Set in November 2021, the documentary charts 26 royal treasures from the Kingdom of Dahomey that are due to leave Paris and return to their country of origin: the present-day Republic of Benin. Using multiple perspectives Diop questions how these artifacts should be received in a country that has reinvented itself in their absence.
