Eén dag na de wapenstilstand op 11 november 1918 belde de voorzitter van het Internationaal Olympisch Comité, Pierre de Coubertin, met het Belgisch Olympisch Comité. Hij liet weten de vooroorlogse kandidatuur van Antwerpen voor de organisatie van de VIIe Olympiade in 1920 te willen steunen. Door de korte voorbereidingstijd en geldgebrek werd het een olympiade vol eigenaardigheden. Atleten kregen onderdak in Antwerpse scholen die tijdelijk waren verbouwd. De publieke belangstelling voor de meeste competities viel tegen. Alleen voetbal en boksen konden de Antwerpse bevolking bekoren. Sommige competities vonden ver buiten de stad plaats: zeilen en polo in Oostende, roeien in Vilvoorde, schieten in het legerkamp van Beverlo. Het uitvoerend comité van de VIIe Olympiade was verscheurd omdat de Feesten van Antwerpen de aandacht voor de Spelen wegkaapten. Na de Spelen bleef het Comité Exécutif met een enorme schuldenberg achter. De VIIe Olympiade ging de geschiedenisboeken in dankzij de invoering van de olympische vlag, de eerste olympische eed en de overwinning van de Belgen in de voetbalfinale. Toch zijn er veel meer olympische verhalen. Die bleven tot op heden grotendeels verborgen in archieven, bibliotheken en musea, maar dit boek brengt ze weer aan de oppervlakte.

Leopold’s Legacy is a reflection on both the visible representations of colonialism in present-day Belgium, and the hidden traces of its gruesome past. Oliver Leu (DE) presents an eclectic collection of visual research, focusing on various topics from colonial monuments and prestigious architecture to antique postcards and collaged sculptures for alternative monuments. All these remnants of a once glorious past paint a wry story of decades of structural exploitation and genocide, and demonstrate how in Europe our collective perception of these events is gradually changing. At the Berlin Conference in 1885, King Leopold II of Belgium was proclaimed the founder and sole owner of the Congo Free State, by convincing the colonial nations of Europe to commit to common trade and improving the lives of the native inhabitants. But in reality he extracted a fortune from the territory. Initially by the collection of ivory, but since the invention of the rubber wheel by Dunlop in 1888, mostly by exploiting the Congolese people to harvest and process rubber. His administration of the Congo was characterised by forced labour, torture and murder, causing the deaths of millions of Congolese people. A large part of the monetary gains from this exploitation was spent on public and private construction projects in Belgium that are often still part of our urban space. With Leopold’s Legacy, Leu paints the portrait of an ambitious ruler with delusions of grandeur, and the influence the exploitation of his private colony still has on his home country today. Including an introductory text by Professor of History, Matthew G. Stanard, and an extensive essay by Bambi Ceuppens, researcher at the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Tervuren.
