Devuelve, pé! (Give It back!) Restitution and Self-Determination: Latin American Cultural Heritage (Online)

In order to discuss this ssue we invite all those who keep asking themselves above and similar questions, to an open discussion. The Humboldt Forum, one of the most expensive and controversial cultural projects in Europe, will open in Berlin by the end of 2020.

We cordially invite the protagonists of culture, politics and activism to the panel discussion Devuelve, pé!
