"The most interesting part of the repatriation debate in relation to the publication of images of unprovenanced objects is a simultaneous demand for a return to self-determination, for the right to possess and tell the story of your own past. To truly embrace this policy would not only necessitate the return of objects that are central to the identity of nations or cultural groups, but also signal an openness to relinquishing control over who has the right to set future interpretive research agendas.”
Our distinctive typeface, Format-1452, was designed by Frank Adebiaye, a French-Beninese type designer and founder of the experimental Velvetyne Type Foundry.
