Guest lecture by Dr. Matthias de Groof (University of Antwerp, Belgium) on his documentary Palimpsest of the Africa Museum, that will have its International Premiere in Doclisboa.  Palimpsest gives us an insider perspective of the renovations of the Royal Museum for Central Africa, in Belgium, and their attempt to decolonize the museum’s discourse, working alongside COMRAF: a committee of experts and representatives of African organisations.
