Join us for the launch of the Yale IPCH Public Talks: a series dedicated to exploring global perspectives and critical developments that impact cultural heritage preservation. In this inaugural event, this distinguished expert panel will contextualize the highly anticipated John Randle Centre for Yoruba History and Culture within the economic, social, and cultural landscape of Lagos, the most populous city on the African continent. Panelists will highlight the Centre’s history and significance while also exploring how Lagos’ expanding cultural infrastructure can influence new frameworks for preserving and celebrating African heritage.
