Travelling Sources is a three-day art & reflection festival curated by Hari Prasad Sacré, Hoda Siahtiri & Arshia Ali Azmat about communities travelling imperial borders carrying endangered sources of storytelling.
The audience is reconciled with the tales and voices of worlds silenced by imperial history.
Travelling Sources invites Ariella Aïsha Azoulay to guide us on a scholarly, cinematographic and narrative journey on stolen art, skills and resources stored and exhibited in imperial museums. Azoulay invites us to an anti-colonial travel (originally from the French 'travail'; painful and laborious effort, including that of displacement) in the steps of those – people and objects - who were thrown into such a journey.
She revisits displaced communities' rights (including those fleeing into Europe now) to the stolen objects exhibited in colonial museums.
