In the first part of this two-part episode, we dive deep into the pervasive legacies of colonialism that continue to shape our world today - especially in relation to art and art history.

We specifically go through the examples of engravings depicting the "New World" and its impact on the history of archaeology, the creation of a global art market enabled by the Dutch East India Company, and the contemporary battles over the repatriation of the Benin Bronzes back to Nigeria.

Join Anya, Madeline, and Kayetana to explore this broad but contentious subject and how it relates to visual culture.
