Mati Diop (ATLANTICS) follows the return of 26 sacred artifacts plundered by the French in the African kingdom of Dahomey from a museum in Paris to their home in modern-day Benin. Diop imagines the historical, spiritual, cultural, and emotional significance of the return from multiple perspectives, including from the objects themselves.
