LILY SAINT - The West Must Return the Artifacts They Stole Back to Africa

30 years after declaring independence from Somalia in 1991, Somaliland can take pride in an impressive but not flawless democratisation record. Since 2002, the people of Somaliland have participated in six multi-party elections: three presidential elections (2003, 2010 and 2017) and two district council elections (2002 and 2012), but only one parliamentary (2005), and none for the House of Elders (
Guurti). At last, combined local council and parliamentary elections will take place on 31 May 2021, respectively four years and eleven years after they were due.
The repeated postponements of elections have at times caused political tensions and uncertainty. This has undermined Somaliland’s democratisation process, weakened public confidence in democracy, stalled institution-building and reforms, and damaged the country’s relationship with the international community. ....

African Masks Examined: History, Type, Role, Meaning & Examples
One of the most enduring and fascinating aspects of African culture is masks. In Western museums and private collections, they are treated as artistic objects appreciated for their aesthetic qualities. However, their role in African society is more functional than artistic.
Read on and you will learn everything you need to know about the African mask tradition.
Ancient African Masks
Africans have been making masks since prehistory. The earliest evidence we have for masking in Africa comes from rock paintings in Algeria at Tassili n Ajjer.
These show masks that look a lot like contemporary West African masks and date to about 11,000 years ago. We don’t know how these masks were used though. ....

Stories We Missed in 2020: 150 Years of the Met in 7 Objects

Stories We Missed in 2020: 150 Years of the Met in 7 Objects
What key artworks can tell us about the museum’s historical biases and what’s next for the New York institution
‘150 Years of the Met in 7 Objects’ is part of a series of essays on the stories we missed in 2020. Look out for more of our end of year coverage to follow.
This year, New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art turned 150. It might have been cause for celebration, were it not for COVID-19. Instead, the museum’s leadership has looked back at its history more critically. Major new works were commissioned for the façade (Wangechi Mutu’s Afrofuturist caryatids) and the lobby (Kent Monkman’s grand history paintings of indigenous peoples), foregrounding halls filled with colonial plunder with work by artists of colour.
