Sunday Movie : Totems et tabous

Decolonisation, gender and sustainability: a film cycle that addresses three important and current societal issues. Auditorium. Sunday 18 September 2022 from 17:00 to 18:00.

MEG's Sunday movies are back for a season based on three essential and current notions: decolonisation, gender and sustainability.
Documentary, fiction and animation films addressing these themes will be screened free of charge in the Museum Auditorium on several Sundays each month.

For the month of September, the focus will be on the theme of decolonisation to better understand the issues related to this term. The film screened on Sunday 18 September deals with decolonisation in museums, a movement in which the MEG has been involved since 2020.

It tells us about the colonial origins of this Museum... Today, it is the time to open up to the restitution of this heritage to museums in the DRC, in Senegal,... It is the time of reconciliation with the past...
