WHAT IS UNFORGETTING?

In 2010, we opened the first Architecture of Unforgetting on pinterest. At the time the project was called ‘Architecture of Loss’. Loss, or Unforgetting?

This page is about the arts stolen from the Benin Empire in 1897, alongside other findings.

Who are the Edo Benin and the kingdom they founded? What was the Culture, History and Arts of the kingdom of Benin? How do we understand the assault and subsequent propaganda against the kingdom in relation to larger regional history as well as the history of the modern world?
