In this episode, art historian Dr Salomé Soloum talks about her research on the history of clothing, sexuality and mores in pre-colonial Africa. Her academic interest also extends to the restitution of African heritage, particularly regarding the Republic of Benin. Dr Soloum is a member of the Académie des Traces. Presently, she is a guest scholar at the Centre Marc Bloch in Berlin supported by a grant from Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. The focus of her present work is a fabric from the Far North of Cameroon, looted by a German colonial officer in 1908 and presently held by Grassi Ethnological Museum in Leipzig.
