Princeton University Art Muserum Exhibition - Women and the Arts of Africa

Title of exhibition: 

Women and the Arts of Africa  

 

Hosted by: 

Princeton University Art Museum  

 

From the description of this exhibition: 

Women in a range of African societies have been recognized within their communities and by scholars as the creators of pottery and baskets, the designers of dyed and woven textiles, and the makers of beaded garments. Yet the profound relationship between women and the artworks of ritual life, including masks and sculpted figures, is often overlooked because woodcarvers and the performers and users of such objects are usually men. This installation highlights the central role women play as creators, subjects, and performers of African visual cultures.

Musée du Louvre, Paris, France

Until 4 July 2022 

 

Venue: 

Petite Galerie, Richelieu Wing, Louvre, Paris, France  

 

From the description of the exhibition: 

Through materials and objects, this exhibition describes exchanges between distant worlds – exchanges often far more ancient than the explorations of the 16th century. From deepest antiquity, carnelian, lapis lazuli, ebony and ivory circulated along trade routes : these materials were even more precious because they came from afar.
