African Kings

[Egmond Codfried]

AFRICAN KINGS: Portrait of a Disappearing Era, Daniel Laine
There are close to 100 tribal kings in Africa today -- their ancient traditions preserved, their wisdom and power still honored. A portal into these worlds of mysterious rites, ancient customs, and fantastic finery, this book takes us into the inner circle of 70 of these tribes in the person of their king. Formal portraits of each king in full regalia are accompanied by brief biographies and historical notes on the tribe and the rituals and history associated with each ruler. African Kings introduces us to a way of life with anthropological roots as deep as any on earth.

Duidelijk nog veel werk aan eer ze aan de blanke Europese beschaving kunnen tippen.

The exhibition Benin — Kings and Rituals, Court Arts from Nigeria marks the first time that masterpieces from Benin dispersed in European and American collections since the late nineteenth century are reunited. Over 300 carefully selected objects offer a broad survey of the royal arts and culture of the Kingdom of Benin from its inception in the fourteenth century to its overthrow by British forces in the late nineteenth century. The exhibition further documents the kingdom’s reconstitution during the colonial period and its continuity into the twenty-first century.
On the occasion of the opening of this important Benin-exhibition the Museum für Völkerkunde Wien organizes an international symposium to highlight the latest research results on art and cultural history of the Benin kingdom from a broad perspective. For the symposium the most well-known experts from Nigeria, Europe and the United States are invited to present the latest results of historical, anthropological and iconographic research.
This offers the singular opportunity for the researchers with differing disciplinary backgrounds to exchange and discuss their research results in the context of a scholarly meeting open to the public. Members of the Benin royal family and representatives of the artists' guilds in Benin will contribute with their important inside view.

U toont duidelijk aan dat wij onze beschaving niet aan zwart Afrika te danken hebben.

Zucht, wie zegt dat dit móet? Het zijn gewoon 2 totaal verschillende culturen die niet meteen vergelijkbaar zijn.

Wel anoniem, en omdat het een KONING is!
