Milwaukee Art Museum returns enslaved artist's works to descendants
Original: Milwaukee Art Museum returns enslaved artist’s works to his descendants
The Milwaukee Art Museum has returned works by an enslaved artist to his descendants, according to Wisconsin Public Radio. The transfer is part of a growing movement among US museums to address the legacies of slavery in their collections and restitute culturally significant works to the families of the people who created them.
Why now: Museum restitution of works by an enslaved artist touches on ongoing debates over slavery, ownership and institutional accountability in the art world.
