Colonial art in UK museums is similar to Nazi-looted works, says charity boss

Dr Errol Francis said venues should support decolonisation of their collections

July 22, 2020

Colonial-era artefacts taken by British forces should be regarded in the same way as Nazi-looted art, according to the director of an arts charity who is calling for a dramatic overhaul of the sector in response to the Black Lives Matter movement.

Dr Errol Francis, CEO and artistic director of Culture&, released an “agenda for action” consisting of a seven-point charter, which says galleries and museums should support the decolonisation of their collections, start restitution processes and reword artwork titles that are racially sensitive.
