Spark Session!

For our first session on 27 February 2024 from 1-2 pm, we will be joined by Celina Greppler, a Visiting Fellow from the University of Cologne, who will be sharing her work, “On the plundering of cultural objects in German colonial territories in the period 1900-1918. A legal-historical investigation using the example of Ateu Atsa's pipe-smoking lefem (Rautenstrauch-Joest Museum Cologne, Collection number 48.796).” 

Location: Art Science Lab, University College Maastricht, Heksenstraat 8 (at UCM).  Please let us know at macch@maastrichtuniversity.nl if you’d like to come. 

Celina S. Lubahn Greppler is Schmittmann-Wahlen Scholar and researcher at the Institute for International Peace and Security Law at the University of Cologne. Her PhD project focuses on the violent appropriations of “ethnographica” during the late 19th and early 20th centuries and the corresponding restitution claims thereafter. 

For future sessions, we would like to hear from you! Is there anything interesting you are working on that you would like to discuss, develop or simply share with your peers in an informal setting?
