Write a short summary of what happens in the radio or audio execution or campaign.

The Unfiltered History Tour is an interactive guerrilla Tour of the British Museum that rebalances the colonial narrative of the Museum and British textbooks. A deep dive into every artefact, through a podcast series housed on popular audio platforms like Spotify, Apple Music etc. For the first time ever, underrepresented and marginalised native experts of the Empire's erstwhile colonies were given a platform to play tour guide for visitors to the Museum through Instagram AR filters and share their account of how the artefacts from their countries reached the British Museum. In every episode, you will hear a native voice, accompanied with native music. The Rapa Nui ex-Governor Tarita Rapu breaks into a traditional folk song, we hear original drumming from Ernest Domfe of Ghana - a descendant of the Akan Drum to explicitly mention a few.

Zing Tseng - The British Museum - in school, we learn about museums. But you’re never taught to question how their collections ended up in their hands. According to many people, the British Museum is the world’s largest receiver of stolen goods. Sharifa Balfour, Museologist and Curator of Institute of Jamaica - “The British Museum never clearly indicate which one… pieces was looted.” Heba Abd el Gawad, Member, Egypt's Dispersed Heritage: Artefacts of Excavation - “Colonialism has never gone away, there is this…colonialism of knowledge.” Tarita Alarcón Rapu, former Governor of Rapa Nui - “Rapa Nui have the body, but you have the soul.” Victor Ehikhamenor, prominent director and artist - “You killed people. You loaded your ships up with these things… and you left.” Haki Shakur, historian and member, New Afrikan Independence Movement - “They stole our ancestors.” Zing: VICE World News brings you the true stories of 10 of these objects, and how they ended up in the British Museum. Told by people from the countries they were stolen from. Go to the British Museum and scan the objects on Instagram to reveal their stories. Learn more on the Unfiltered History Tour podcast.

Please tell us about the cultural insight that inspired the work

According to a 2014 poll, 44% of young Britons were proud of the British Empire. For centuries now, we’ve only heard the British version, the imperialist European account of non-British artefacts. In history textbooks, in museum plaques. Given that the British Museum houses over 8 million objects, a majority taken from Britain's erstwhile colonies, that’s a potentially vast number of artefacts looted from around the world. Considering the danger posed by a single narrative, an equitable environment can only be created when those whose voices have been muffled for so long have the opportunity for expression of the intergenerational trauma caused by colonial loot and loss. Something had to change - we had to make room for minority and underrepresented voices.
