Episode 24: A Place to Rest

Lots of food for thought in this episode as Allyson discusses a Shona headrest from Zimbabwe in the Met’s collection: how do such objects come to be in Western museums? Should they be returned to their cultures of origin? © 2020 Allyson Healey Theme music © 2020 Bruce Healey Twitter and Instagram: @arthistory4all Get involved with Black Lives Matter: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ Other links: linktr.ee/arthistory4all Additional Music Credits: “Round Drums” by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4308-round-drums License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ “Nomadic Dawn” by Alexander Nakarada Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/4766-nomadic-dawn License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
