THE CONGO RIVER, CORRESPONDENCES AND MUTATIONS IN THE CENTRAL AFRICAN ARTS

MUSEE DU QUAI BRANLY - FROM 22nd JUNE TO 3rd OCTOBER 2010



Showcasing 166 objects, the exhibition offers an exploration of the artistic tradition of central Africa (particularly Gabon and the Republic of Congo). Ranging from the forests lying north of the Congo river to savannahs in the south, this exhibition underlines the artistic links that exist in the work produced by the diverse communities of these regions, bearers of culture and traditions that are clearly distinct, but having a shared language in Bantu. These different styles and uses allow us to better understand the masterpieces of central Africa.
