The exhibition is divided into a number of sections: from formal quality expressed by large and small works to ancient objects from famous African kingdoms, together with masks and figures representing rituals and power.
The new frontiers of research into African art are also presented: the existence since ancient times of its manifestations and some ‘master hands’, and a section that investigates the different aesthetics of voodoo, syncretic, persistent art steeped in sacredness, with works shown for the first time in Italy.
