I used to love watching the #American version of the #AntiquesRoadshow.
I’m traveling and came across the #British version on one of these tv channels, and they just keep reminding me about #colonialism and #colonization.
So many #people #celebrating #looted items from their #families’ questionable #histories.
The hosts frequently ask what their guests plan to do with their “good #fortunes”, and I just don’t hear anyone saying #GiveItBack

In an #exhibition on #looted art, the actual victims of Nazi looting become an afterthought — and are even treated as interchangeable.

Twice #looted
The paintings are owned by the #Czartoryski family whose entire #Gołuchów collection was seized by the #Nazis in 1941. However, #Poland ignored the family's ownership rights and made a restitution claim to #Spain which in turn ignored the family's counter-claim to prevent this second #expropriation of their #paintings

Extremely noticeable #KNOWLEDGE GAPS of ChatGPT in the #history of #Holocaust-related art claims make it clearer than ever the urgency of understanding the data #pipelines that feed the #AI language model.
What #filters are used in #OpenAI's data #preprocessing to EXCLUDE information? Who decides which information to exclude? What triggers exclusion?
#ChatGPT fills gaps with plausible -sounding disinformation - which is a disaster

One day in 2003, Oscar White Muscarella, an archaeologist at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, took a stroll through his workplace.
Wearing a blue seersucker suit spiffed up by a paisley ascot, he pointed at a display of ancient Greek art. “Looted,” he told a Village Voice reporter. His assessment of a glass case of pottery: “All plunder.”

#Looted #Art #Restitution #Texts as #Data
The #provenance research and decisions of national commissions responsible for deciding whether to restitute artworks to heirs of victims of Nazi persecution are often published as PDF files in German with no links to authority files or identifiers.
What if we translate and analyse the restitution decisions listed by the Belvedere in #Voyant-Tools?

Twenty-one precious #artefacts that were #looted by #British soldiers from the former #WestAfrican kingdom of #Benin 125 years ago have been handed over by Germany to #Nigeria amid laughter, tears, and some audible #frustration with the ongoing #silence of the country that first #stole them.

#CambridgeUniversity to return 100+ #looted #Benin bronzes to #Nigeria
Move to repatriate 116 historical objects taken by #British during sacking of Benin in 1897. Culture minister of Nigeria, #LaiMohammed, urged #BritishMuseum to follow example of the #SmithsonianInstitution, which returned ownership of 29 Benin bronzes to Nigeria.
#SunakOut already ruled out change to law barring repatriation. #Parthenonmarbles #Return_the_Parthenon_Marbeles #unculturedconservatives
