InsightShare organised a visit by Maasai partners to the UK to change the way their unique culture is represented in museums.
• Maasai leaders visit UK to work with curatorial staff at Oxford University’s Pitt Rivers Museum.
• Maasai leaders are excited to see how they can work with the Museum to take their concerns seriously and change the way the Maasai living culture is represented beyond the framework of the imperial past.
• Long-term, this project aims to change the narrative UK museums use to display Maasai artefacts and tell Maasai stories.
• Maasai leaders will also use this trip to fight for the rights of Indigenous Peoples to protect their lands, resources, and unique culture.

Samwel Nangiria, Maasai leader and Director of Oltoilo le Maa, said:
“Seeing the way Maasai sacred objects were displayed in the Pitt Rivers Museum I felt shocked. We are a living culture, not a dead one, and we want to talk to the Museum about how they can change this. I believe that working together with the Pitt Rivers Museum and with our partners at InsightShare we can honour my community and present our real culture in the museum”.
