New exhibition: Scenes of Dogon life, photos by Wouter van Beek

The Dogon of Mali form one of the visual highlights of West Africa. With the spectacular setting of their villages against the Bandiagara cliff, their iconic mask performances and their ethnographic fame, they form a core attraction in West African culture tourism. But also Dogon daily life is well worth capturing on camera, as is shown in this photo exhibition by Wouter van Beek, the anthropologist who has worked in the Dogon area since 1979. Here the brilliance of Dogon ritual performances is complemented by the visual appeal of their everyday village life.

What about Africa ? - 14 Contemporary African Artists

‘What about Africa?’ provides an overview of the work of 14 contemporary African artists. Most of them have never exhibited in the Netherlands before. They differ in age, in discipline, in method and also in subject matter. A number of them live and work in Europe, others divide their time between Europe and Africa or live and work in their homeland. The combination of all these factors makes ‘What about Africa?’ a surprising and intriguing presentation. A special edition of the Witteveen Magazine will be published for the exhibition. This edition will be entirely devoted to ‘What about Africa?” with an introduction and (visual) information about the participating artists and their work.
