Questions to consider:
What does it mean that “anthropological artifacts” are now “art objects?” What about their histories outside of Western institutions?
Whose responsibility is it to know these histories?
Why is it important to contextualize these objects with this research?
What does it mean that these objects were displayed alongside human remains?
