A new lens on African Art in the book accompanying the launch of the Gabonese art and culture museum
A new lens on African Art in the book accompanying the launch of the Gabonese art and culture museum
While the arts of Gabon and sub-Saharan Africa are often presented in terms of ethnic classifications, this book takes a different approach, highlighting the contacts, borrowings and, more broadly, the porosity between cultures, based on around a hundred works from the Comilog Foundation for Gabonese Art and Culture.
Comilog, a subsidiary of the French group Eramet, is a mining company and the world's leading producer of manganese, based in Moanda in south-east Gabon. In 2023, it is launching a project to create a museum for Gabonese art and culture, bringing together works of contemporary art (sculpture, painting, photography).
This book, which accompanies the opening of the museum, brings together authors from different disciplines: philosophers, ethnologists and art historians, mainly from Gabon and its cultural area. It highlights the continuum between Gabonese cultures, which is apparent in both tangible and intangible production, without erasing their specificities and identities.
