The Reclaimers
How Western museums tell the stories of others.
As Western museums grapple with their colonial legacies and encounter ongoing pressure to repatriate artefacts, they face a fundamental question: how do they tell the uncomfortable stories behind the items in their collections?

As the former βBritish Empire Gamesβ draws nearer, Kema finds out what the world of museums can learn from the communities, artists and curators who are struggling to reclaim global stories about their culture and identity.
