"The Arts and Sciences journal «Leonardo»
(published by MIT Press) has been organizing (for several months) a large
exhibition called «Virtual Africa»" The exhibition consists
of two parts:
- A scientific section that includes various
studies ( ethnological,
anthropological, etc..) dedicated to the
functions and significance of
African masks and to other cultural issues.
- An art section which presents, on the
one hand, the work of contemporary African artists, and, on the other
hand, the works of Western artists inspired by African arts.
Some of the pages are displayed in English,
but the majority are in French only.
Afrique Virtuelle also includes an interesting
selection of links:
