The Ethics of Cultural Collecting

This chapter explores the ethical implications of collecting cultural artifacts, particularly from African cultures, and the contrasting meanings they hold within their original contexts. It also addresses the complexities of character portrayal, focusing on the tension between moral narratives and the actions of a character who collects culturally significant items. As the discussion evolves, themes of greed, morality, and the consequences of money emerge, culminating in a reflection on justice and the impact of visual storytelling.
