Tracing Twisted Trails - A Workshop with Nur Sobers Khan

This workshop covers theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of looted cultural objects, with special attention to material from the Delhi Collection. Participants will explore practical approaches to working with scattered archives, incomplete metadata, and fragmented records to piece together the stories behind contested collections.We will discuss how archival research, digital tools, and close attention to historical context can help make sense of looted heritage. The workshop also considers how this kind of research connects to antiracist and anticolonial work, and what responsibilities scholars have when studying material taken through colonial violence.
