Françoise Vergès, historian and political scientist: “As soon as there is demand, everything must be returned”

In her latest book “Absolute Disorder Program – Decolonizing the Museum”, historian and political scientist Françoise Vergès recalls the deeply colonial nature of major universal museums such as the Louvre in Paris. Places of culture, built on the dispossession of peoples. The decolonization of museums necessarily involves the restitution of works, but also the advent of a post-colonial museum to be reinvented where all forms of domination would be abolished.
