return of art
The "return of art" refers to the process of reuniting cultural artworks with their original countries, communities, or rightful owners after being displaced, stolen, or kept in foreign collections. It aims to restore cultural heritage, acknowledge historical injustices, and ensure that communities can access and preserve their artistic history. This movement encourages transparency, respect, and cooperation between institutions, governments, and communities to address past wrongs and promote cultural identity. Overall, it emphasizes that artworks are vital parts of cultural legacy and should be accessible to those connected to their origins.
