The Musée du Quai Branly-Jacques Chirac in Paris reopened last week with its first solo show dedicated to a contemporary African artist: Barthélémy Toguo. Displayed alongside historical African artworks, the Cameroonian multimedia artist’s exhibition addresses viruses, immigration, the lynching of African Americans, African dictators, and the shortage of water.
Titled “Craving for Humanity, The world of Barthélémy Toguo,” it is curated by Christiane Falgayrettes-Leveau, director of Fondation Dapper. Launched in Amsterdam in 1983 by Michel Leveau to support African and Caribbean art, the foundation was given
carte blanche for the exhibition.
Euronews has come to see the first museum to be built in Angola, the Dundo Museum.
It was built in 1936 by the former diamond company Diamang, now ENDIAMA, and is located in the capital of Lunda Norte, the city of Dundo.
In this museum is a whole collection that tells the collective memory of the entire region of eastern Angola .
The first gallery depicts the entrance to a typical village of the Lunda Tchokwé people, with the traditional spiritual guardian here symbolized by this lion.
According to the director of the museum in Dundo in 1957, there was a significant increase in research activities carried out by more than 260 corresponding scientists the world over.
