I haven't been to the exhibition (yet) but I agree with you that it's so important to think about provenance, always digging deeper to find out where something 'really' comes from. Which unfortunately also makes me think about questioning BAME people 'where do you really come from'.
Yes, that's such an interesting point. Which I think is answered, a bit, in the exhibition by the things which could belong in lots of different places, like the Koh-i-noor. But I'd like to ask Hew Locke that directly.
