Museum of Stolen Souls

No artefact found in the anthropology section of a museum was ever created to lie locked in a glass case, gazed on by people lacking any cultural connection with it. Using 2D, model and photo animation, Chris Elliott questions what the display of such artefacts, far from their home and context (in this case the rainforest), is all about and suggests that we are wilfully blind to the kind of cultural and religious violence that is at the root of such misappropriation.
