The second Irish-language documentary this afternoon by the prolific Dearcán Media production house explores how museums and institutions in Ireland are 'decolonising' their collections.




Tá iarsmalanna agus institiúidí in Éirinn agus thar lear ag 'díchoilíniú' bailiúchán s'acu, de thairbhe feachtas ar nós 'Rhodes Must Fall' agus 'Black Lives Matter', agus mar gheall ar an bhéim úr ar an bhealach is fearr le bailiúcháin a léiriú in iarsmalann sa lá atá inniu ann. Scrúdaíonn Iarsmaí (Remnants) an leagáid coilíneachta atá ag Éirinn trí scéal na mblaoscanna goidte atá in TCD a inniúchadh; ábhar dúchasach a ghoid lonnaitheoirí Éireannacha ón Astráil; agus an bealach ar chríochaigh cuid de na Benin Bronzes, a goideadh ón Aifric sna 1890í, in Iarsmalann Naisiúnta na hÉireann i mBaile Átha Cliath.




Museums and institutions in Ireland and abroad are 'decolonising' their collections, partly because of campaigns like 'Rhodes Must Fall' and 'Black Lives Matter', and also because of a changing emphasis on how collections should be presented in a modern museum setting. Iarsmaí examines Ireland's own colonial legacy through the story of stolen skulls in TCD; aboriginal items taken by Irish settlers in Australia; and how some of the Benin Bronzes, looted from Africa in the 1890s, ended up in the National Museum in Dublin.
