Going Global: New Challenges in the Field of Provenance Research

Graduate Workshop, Vitromusée Romont, 15 septembre 2022 Provenance research is not only a central field of museum activity, but has also increasingly become the focus of academic research. Since the 2018 report edited by Bénédicte Savoy and Felwine Sarr n the restitution of African art-works from French collections, provenance studies have expanded to include an important new aspect: the question of provenance in colonial contexts. The workshop will provide insights into ongoing research and open the discussion to a wider audience. Participation is free of charge, registration is required by 12 Sept. 2022 at sarah.tabbal@vitrocentre.ch
