Africa, raccontare un mondo

the long version

"The volume proposes the works of 33 artists from the principal cultural areas of Sub-Saharan Africa. Contemporary African art--fuelled by the relations between pre-existing populations and immigrants of various origins, by the blend of religions, cultures, urban tribes, genres, ethnic groups and by the close relationship between nature, traditions and rituals--mirrors the depth of its own roots. Today it exhibits a strong impetus for research, knowledge and the phenomenological understanding of the principal historical-religious and ethnical-anthropological problems of the continent."--Page 4 of cover.
