“Women in African Art”  Femmes dans les Arts D’Afrique – Museum Dapper Paris

Gender relations and mythology shape an exhibition of female figures from all over Africa, writes Philippe Dagen in Le Monde

From birth to marriage, often multiple child-bearing and finally old age, women in Africa (and in a number of rural or tribal societies) have a peculiar position.

Women are omnipresent in the private sphere and in the family home; they play a variety of parts and are responsible for most household activities. The question at the heart of this exhibition is about how women are represented in African art.

Over 130 items (mostly statues, masks, and symbols of distinction such as headdresses) will be on display to show the many faces of feminine representation.
