Dahomey Film Screening
December 4 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Join the Department of Languages, Literatures & Cultures for a free film screening of Dahomey (2024) in French with English subtitles. The film explores the repatriation of 26 royal artifacts, looted from the Kingdom of Dahomey (now Benin) during French colonization, back to their homeland.
Blending magical realism and documentary, the film examines colonial legacies, cultural identity, and conflicting views on restitution amid calls for decolonizing museum practices. The film has been praised by critics and won many awards.
