Letter to Lagat is an artist’s book by Sam Hopkins and Simon Rittmeier that examines and questions ownership, possession and control of African art in Europe.

Letter to Lagat meditates on the power of objects in Postcolonial collections of the Global North. Are objects agents of their own movement? What are the implications of the increasing verisimilitude of digital reproductions?
