Felwine Sarr is known for the publication of his report on the restitution of African art objects, co-directed with Béatrice Savoy and published in 2018. His poetic, fictional and philosophical work is less well known. This article seeks to place his thinking on restitution within a broader reflection on the relationship, where the art object is understood as a “cultural courier” and in a thought of place, eminently local and cosmopolitan at the same time.
