The repatriation of 750 artworks created by predominantly Black Brazilian artists represents a critical step in addressing historical injustices and celebrating Afro-Brazilian culture.
This collection, created largely by self-taught artists, highlights the rich cultural tapestry of Bahia, a region known for its deep Afro-Brazilian heritage.
The artworks were acquired mainly through personal resources by art historians Marion Jackson and Barbara Cervenka, emphasizing a dedication to preserving cultural expressions.
Despite the challenges of transferring these pieces, their return to Bahia marks a significant moment in the global movement to restore cultural heritage.
