Our Projects
Cultural Heritage is a critical part of humanity. Yet, it faces unprecedented threats from climate change, human-induced actions, armed conflicts, and historical injustices such as colonialism, racism, slave trade, etc. We are committed to working with local communities to ensure their right to a thriving cultural life while providing holistic approaches that address and redress root causes. At the interjection of our work is the quest for Justice (Transitional, Reparatory Gender, climate, and Restorative Justice). RGL continues to work on decolonization and reparatory Justice by engaging stakeholders in progressive dialogues, advocating and lobbying for the restitution of Africa’s heritage, decolonizing museum spaces and practices, promoting Afrocentric heritage practices, and safeguarding cultural heritage in armed conflict zones in Cameroon.
The creative industry is among the most dynamic sectors of the world economy and international trade (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development [UNCTAD]). According to the Creative Economy Report of 2010, international trade declined by 12% due to the financial crisis and the global recession of 2008. However, the world trade of creative goods and services continued its expansion, reaching $592 billion and reflecting an annual growth rate of 14% from 2002 to 2008. Despite this enormous potential, Africa has yet to benefit from its creative economy to accelerate development. The creative industry faces various challenges, including infrastructure, funding, and policy support in Cameroon. RGL is working with artists, local communities, and other stakeholders to create avenues and projects for capacity building, skills development, talent showcase, and policy change.
Web of Plunder
The web of plunder is an initiative of regartless dedicated to acquiring and restituting Africa’s cultural heritage plundered from communities of origin in colonial and post colonial context. We sought out looted African cultural artifacts and heritages on sale, purchase them and return them to their communities of origin.
