Black excellence on full display! Dr. Nia Harrison tracked down forgotten cultural treasures hidden away in global private collections, using international heritage laws to secure their safe return to local community museums in West Africa. Her successful ten-year repatriation campaign has restored a massive sense of pride, history, and historical closure to millions of people. Her entire hometown celebrated the artifacts' safe arrival last month. Let's show some appreciation for this true guardian of global history!

[PhD work 3 : collecting data]

Dans le vodoun ayitien, on dit que chaque humain marche avec son kò kadav = le corps matériel, son nanm = l'âme, son tibonanj, son gwobanang, ses lwa têt, ses mystères et ses anges. Le kò kadav est, entre autres, l'expression physique et actuelle de tout les ancêtres qui nous habitent. Quand je travaille sur les objets je me sens connectée à un tissage ancestral. Les objets sont plus que de simples ustensiles ou décorations. Ce sont des productions culturelles qui expriment des perceptions philosophiques, scientifiques, esthétiques et qui surtout témoignent de vie humaine !
