Black Parthenon

Black Parthenon is a repatriation art action, a public light installation highlighting the issue of the appropriation of cultural and sacred objects. The work not only addresses the increasing call to repatriate the Parthenon Marbles back to Greece, but also issues of cultural appropriation and repatriation globally that we need to address as a society.
