The US just denied a visa to a Tanzanian man coming to visit to remains of his grandfather in the American Museum of Natural History where they're - bafflingly - still held. You can still support him by coming to a free screening of this gorgeous doc about his quest in Manhattan on 3/26!
Movie poster for the documentary "The Empty Grave"
The Empty Grave: Screening and Discussion 
Thursday, March 26 | 5:00PM-7:30 PM 
CUNY Graduate Center, 365 Fifth Avenue, NYC 
Posnanski Auditorium (concourse level)
The documentary The Empty Grave (Germany/Tanzania 2024) follows the emotional journey of two Tanzanian families in search of their stolen ancestors. Their quest leads one family to Germany where tens of thousands of human remains from former colonies are stored in museum depots - a haunting legacy of colonial plunder in the early 20th century, taken for racist research and as macabre trophies. The other family locates their ancestor in the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York.
The film unveils the enduring traces and traumas inflicted by colonial crimes on families and highlights their resilience while probing the complexity of identifying and repatriating these human remains.
Konradin Kunze, an artist and researcher who worked with the Kaaya family, will be present to discuss the challenges of repatriation, and will deliver remarks on behalf of the family. Introduction by Marta Millar (CUNY), moderated by Jonathan Bach (New School).
Admission is free. Non-CUNY participants will need to show a government-issued ID to enter the Graduate Center.
This event is co-organized by the Ralph Bunche Institute for International Studies at the CUNY Graduate Center and the African Studies Initiative and Global Studies Program at The New School.
