Papeles Picados and Sculpture

From left to right: Papeles Picados, Mexico Series (José de Guimarães) and Sculpture (Bamileke People, Cameroon). More than a heritage repository, submissive to the immobility of historiographic cataloging, CIAJG seeks to establish cross-cutting and critical perspectives on its collection and make visible the connections that have been broken between objects, narratives, and peoples of origin. One of its missions is to study the collection in the context of its communities and collection histories, situating them more broadly within the history of the circulation of ethnographic objects between Europe and Africa in general, and especially in the 20th and 21st centuries. From left to right, the works date from 1997 and the 20th century.
