Exhibition "(De)colonisations: African artists question History".

The Friday 23 October

Le Mémorial de Caen Esplanade Général Eisenhower 14000 CAEN

For the first time, the Caen Memorial is presenting an exhibition dedicated to sub-Saharan Africa, its history and its artists. Through some sixty works that are remarkable both for their aesthetic qualities and their messages, the museum aims to explore colonial and post-colonial history as seen through the eyes of African artists. These paintings, photographs, sculptures, textiles and films explore a process of remembrance and historical re-evaluation carried out with respect for geographical, political, cultural, religious and linguistic differences.
Admission is exceptionally free until 30 August.
