The 47 years old businessman and art collector, Sindika Dokolo, roots towards restoring the classic works of African art in museums within the country. Dokolo believes that African arts showcased in museums worldwide are not as valued by art lovers as they should be. Ergo, their return to the home country is highly desired.
Dokolo’s Campaigns
With the aim of restoring classic African artworks to various museums in Africa, Sindika Dokolo confronts the owners of vintage African artworks with evidences of the artwork being stolen. To testify his claims, he produces evidence and urges the owners to return the value artwork back to the state.
Certainly, his acts are met with resistance but he insists them to show the evidence that the owner has paid for the artwork. In case they fail to produce any evidence of the same, Sindika Dokolo insists that they return the work lest they should face the music for collecting classic African artworks illegally.
The business and collector picks up the threads of his works he has done over the years, directing them to his aim of restoring the lost glory of Africa.
