    January 13, 2026 / 0 Comments

    This journey reveals how African artists transform wood, clay, bronze, and fabric into living expressions of history, ritual, and imagination - showing African art not as decoration, but as a vital force within society.

    Since the discovery of African art at the end of the nineteenth century during the colonial expositions it has been a limitless source of inspiration for artists who, over time, have perpetually recreated these artworks.

    LESEN IN AFRIKA

    October 11, 2019 / 0 Comments

    “Wenn ein alter Mann stirbt, brennt eine Bibliothek bis auf die Grundmauern nieder.” Bis vor kurzem wurden afrikanische Geschichte, Kultur und Traditionen mehr durch die Sprache als durch das Schreiben vermittelt – die Übertragung mündlicher Literatur von einer Generation zur nächsten liegt im Herzen von Kultur und Erinnerung. Sehr oft fungieren lokale Sprachen als Vehikel für die Vermittlung von einzigartigen Formen des kulturellen Wissens. Mündliche Traditionen, die in diesen Sprachformen kodiert sind, können bedroht werden, wenn die Ältesten sterben oder wenn die Lebensgrundlagen gestört sind. Solche kreativen Werke der mündlichen Literatur sind zunehmend gefährdet, da Globalisierung und schneller sozioökonomischer Wandel immer komplexeren Druck auf kleinere Gemeinschaften ausüben und oft traditionelle…

    Ebooks – A vehicle of cultural transmission in Africa

    September 20, 2019 / 0 Comments

    “The civilization of the twentieth century cannot be universal except by being a dynamic synthesis of all the cultural values of all civilizations. It will be monstrous unless it is seasoned with the salt of negritude, for it will be without the savour of humanity.” Leopold Sedar Senghor READING IN AFRICA When an old man dies, a library burns to the ground.” Until recently, African history, culture and traditions were conveyed more through speech than in writing— the transmission of oral literature from one generation to the next lies at the heart of culture and memory. Very often, local languages act as vehicles for the transmission of unique forms of…

    Ausstellung: Kunst aus Afrika Datum: 27 Oktober 2017 – 31 Dezember 2019 Museum: Bode Museum, Berlin Ursprung der Schwarzafrikaner Nachdem nun die Aufgabenstellung der vorliegenden Abhandlung formuliert ist, gilt es, sich der Frage nach der ursprünglichen Abstammung der schwarzen Rasse zu widmen. Aber ist es überhaupt möglich, sich diesbezüglich auf einen Ursprung festzulegen? Unser heutiger Wissensstand ist von einer eindeutigen oder gar nur befriedigenden Antwort auf diese Frage noch weit entfernt. Des Weiteren würden wir uns diese Frage wahrscheinlich überhaupt nicht stellen, wenn Afrika der einzige Ort mit Schwarzhäutigen wäre. Doch ist dem nicht so, und von den Ländern einmal abgesehen, in denen Populationen schwarzer Hautfarbe erst in neuerer Zeit…

    Exposition: Au-delà de la comparaison: l’art africain Date: 27 Octobre 2017 – 31 Décembre 2019 Lieu : Musée Bode, Berlin. Origine des Noirs de l’Afrique L’objet du présent ouvrage étant ainsi défini, nous devons commencer par rechercher d’où viennent les Nègres africains. Mais est-il possible de se prononcer sur leur origine première ? Il semble que l’état actuel de nos connaissances ne permet pas encore de répondre à cette question d’une manière définitive ni même seulement satisfaisante. Aussi bien ne nous la poserions-nous pas, sans doute, si l’Afrique était la seule partie du monde à posséder des Nègres. Mais tel n’est pas le cas et, sans parler, bien entendu, des pays où l’apparition de…

    Exhibition: Beyond Compare: Art from Africa Date: October 27, 2017 – December 31, 2019 Venue: Bode Museum, Berlin. Origin of the Negro Peoples of Africa It seems that the actual state of our knowledge does not permit us, as yet, to answer this question in a definitive or even a satisfactory manner. Undoubtedly, one would not have even asked the question if Africa were the only part of the world to possess Negroes. But such is not the case and without speaking, of course, of the countries where the advent of the Negro race has taken place only at a recent epoch, as the result of migrations which were generally…

    Learning from Africa

    July 3, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Africa has long been a source of fascination for people from the West. From Cy Endfield’s 1964 classic film Zulu starring Michael Caine and Stanley Baker, to Disney’s The Lion King, from Elton John crooning The Circle of Life, to Shakira’s foot-tapping World Cup anthem This Time for Africa*, the land of our origins still maintains a deep hold over our thoughts and is firmly embedded into our culture. When we look at Africa, we see a myriad of possibilities, destinations, languages, cultures, politics, wildlife, levels of wealth and poverty, violence and peace, landscapes, and geography.
