A selection of African barbershop boards from Mali, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Cameroon and Zaïre. These non-verbal brightly coloured messages were collected over the last forty years by Esger Duintjer in Africa’s big cities, where they are hand-painted using industrial paints and lacquers on walls, hardboard, plywood, metal sheets and used canvas flour bags. Most of the craftsmen are autodidactic and anonymous although some are known by their chosen artist's name or the name of their collective workshop.
