DR. CLEMENTINE DELISS CURATOR & PROFESSOR OF ART AND CULTURAL HISTORY & AZU NWAGBOGU DIRE With climate change and ecological concerns in mind globally, the current arguments on the restitution of cultural heritage to Africa taking place in Europe is a welcome development for Africans and indeed Nigerians... Especially in the area of retrieving art works of Africa in European Museum. At the moment there are more voices proposing an alternative ways to re-imagine and re-purpose these major African historical collections, focussing on the potential for retrieving innovative design from traditional artefacts and materials. Joining us now is Doctor Clémentine Deliss, a French-Austrian curator and museum expert who will be presenting a model for a new kind of cultural institution for future generations that combines the museum with university-level education centred on past and future collections. She will be joined by Azu Nwagbogu, the Director/Chief Curator of Africa Artists’ Foundation.
