Exhibition “(De)colonisations: African artists question History”.

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.
