Description:
Commissioned by Présence Africaine, this documentary explores why African art is frequently found in anthropological museums, while Greek or Egyptian art is celebrated in major institutions like the Louvre. The film examines the persistent lack of respect for African artistic heritage, revealing a colonial perspective that continues today. The French government delayed its release for eight years, considering it too critical of colonialism. This powerful documentary challenges viewers to reconsider their perceptions of African art and culture and acknowledge Africa's significant contribution to human history.
