“The overarching narrative about Africa’s cultural institutions tends to portray them as in need of know-how and best practices from the West. A story that is less told is how African institutions like the Women’s History Museum of Zambia are taking the lead to share their expertise and knowledge globally. In 2010, the museum’s co-founders, Samba Yonga and Mulenga Kapwepwe, visited the National Museums of World Culture in Sweden where they found missing and incorrect data on Zambian cultural artifacts held in the collections.”
