Program

For three days, journalists will meet other knowledgeable mediators of information from different regions of the world in Innsbruck. In conversations with colleagues and other experts, visitors find out what is going on behind the scenes of the information on international events, which is often hastily and superficially conveyed, and can contribute.

Current social, political and cultural developments are the focus of the debates, from book presentations, exhibitions, doc-films and audio features. The Journalismusfest Innsbruck opens a window to the complex present in which we live.

The Restitution Question

Conversation

Restitution means the return of cultural objects that were unlawfully taken under colonial rule. Provenance Researcher Ohiniko Mawussé Toffa, researching the German colonial history in the former “model colony” Togo and the provenance of colonial collections, considers restitution a matter of human dignity that serves as a form of restorative justice. Returning such objects, he argues, can help restore the dignity that was violated in the colonial context.
