About the Event

Afrika Eye in partnership with Watershed 26 October presents the latest award-winning documentary ‘Dahomey’ by the renowned French-Senegalese filmmaker Mati Diop, confronting us with a colonial past that speaks through Benin’s stolen treasures. The film follows the journey of 26 looted artefacts from Quai Branly museum in Paris to the former African Kingdom of the same name. Mati Diop gives voice to these looted objects as she traces their journey home. To rebuild we must first restitute, and what does restitution mean? To restitute is to do justice. - Mati Diop
