African art exhibitions in April – in pictures
Taken from 'Another Africa's'
selection of contemporary Africana on show around the globe – in
galleries from Lagos to London; Johannesburg to Cairo, Wakefield, Princeton and New York
Princeton, Princeton University Art Museum:
Revealing the African Presence in Renaissance Europe explores Africans
and their descendants in Europe from the late 1400s to the early 1600s
and the roles they played in society as reflected in art. The first half
examines the historical circumstances as well as the conventions of
exoticism that constituted the prism of Africa through which individuals
were inevitably perceived. In the second half, attention shifts to
individuals, focusing on portraits.
