In November 2021, 26 treasures from the kingdom of Dahomey are about to leave Paris to return to their country of origin, the current Republic of Benin. Along with thousands of other artifacts, they were looted by French colonial troops in 1892. But how should you relate to your ancestors' treasures, in a country that has advanced during their absence? This debate rages among the students of Benin.
