The reclaimers: Return to Zambia
Kema Sikazwe is in Zambia exploring the impact of colonial legacies through museum collections.
Returning to Zambia for the first time since he was three years old, Kema Sikazwe continues his journey exploring the impact of colonial legacies through museum collections.
Since 1972, Zambians have campaigned to reclaim the βBroken Hill Skullβ from Britain. Kema learns what has led to the current stalemate, as the repatriation movement gathers pace.
Kema also meets Zambian creatives who are fabricating their own interpretations of history with βdigital repatriationβ initiatives, creating new artefacts in response to stories inspired by 3D scans and photographs.
