Images of Africa
OSTEND – The title of the exhibition is obviously a tip of the hat to Ghost of Africa by Michel Leiris. The exhibit tries to show how Europe fed itself during the XXth century on the African imagination and what fantasies, forms and images resulted from this. The exhibit is based both on the exceptional African collection of the Tervuren museum and on testimonies by writers and ethnologists such as Frantz Fanon and Aimé Césaire.
• L’Europe fantôme at the Mu.Zee, from 4 July 2015 to 3 January 2016.
