Artists from Nigeria and Burkina Faso Reveal Black Kings
Among his guests are film director Moussa Sene Absa and choreographer Ibrahim Niassi from Senegal, designer Nyambo Masamara, who lives between Rwanda and South Africa. His fashion collection is on display at the 2020s African Contemporary Art Exhibition at the State Museum of Oriental Art. There are also works of other fashion designers from Tanzania, Ethiopia, Kenya. They are made of African fabrics, not as bright as usual, but handmade and painted, with ornaments and inscriptions in the form of proverbs and even political slogans. The exhibition is not as large-scale as the “Inverted Safari” of 2023 in St. Petersburg, but there is something interesting. For example, portraits of kings – wooden from Burkina Faso, referring to the middle of the XIV century, the “Black King” from Nigeria in the 1990s in a poster photo.
