"The Art Disputeclean"

In this episode, we explore the extraordinary Kandy Cannon, a jewel-encrusted masterpiece transported from Sri Lanka to the Netherlands during the colonial era. Today, museums display it as a historical artifact, while the Sri Lankan people consider it a symbol of the plundering of their past and the erasure of their collective memory. The story opens a sensitive debate about who has the right to cultural heritage.
