Tribal Art

The Royal Museum for Central Africa offers an exhibition of a new kind. Indeed, it stages and confronts African sculptors, in this case Songye, with a Western and Belgian photographer.
Known as a collaborating photographer in the publication of catalogs, Hugues Dubois presents today his artistic work, begun many years ago. Impressed by the strength and sensitivity of certain African masterpieces, he has undertaken to translate this emotion into photographic portraits.
It is this work that he exhibits today and that the museum has proposed to put in relation with the sculptures that inspired him.To do this, the Ethnography section has selected, with Hugues Dubois, some major pieces in the reserves and participated in the choice of other masterpieces in public and private Belgian collections.
