One of the foremost cultural heritage issues being discussed today is that of the Benin Bronzes. Originally taken from Benin City in present day Nigeria, these bronze sculptures and other stolen goods such as carved ivory, were taken to the United Kingdom. Since their original theft, the Benin Bronzes have been shown and prized around the world for their aesthetic values. Often absent in discussion of the sculptures is the bloody, brutal story of how they came to leave Benin City.

In this episode of the podcast, Dr. Melissa R. Kerin and P.T. discuss some of the events surrounding the current repatriation discussions taking place between the Nigerian government and former colonial governments around the world such as the United Kingdom, France, and the United States.
