TRADITIONAL AFRICAN ART

1-15 February 2010, at the Chelsea Old Town Hall, Reference Library.

This is a public exhibition about original traditional African art, masks, figurines and small objects, made by anonymous artists from various tribes across the continent and in different periods. They are arranged in group of objects presenting various aspects of tribal life, important in their daily routine and without commercial value. The topics are: ancestors, fertility, marriages, warriors, nature (animals and plants). The curator will give a talk about African art and tribal life with a discussion and story-telling for children and adults, and on presented topics; entrance free.

This Collection belongs to the New World International charity organisation, and this exhibition is curated by Dante Montagnani and our own Vesna Petkovic.

Feel free to view the gallery for this event. 

EXHIBITION OF GEORGIAN MANUSCRIPTS

The Exhibition explores various aspects of life and allows distinguishing Georgia’s long history through the photographic Art. The wealth of content is illustrated by many series of photographs (25 photos) taken in Georgia by the author of the exhibition Mr. David Tkemaladze. The photos are from the private collection of Mr. Tkemaladze who generously exhibits them in Georgia and out of the country.
The Exhibition explores ancient writing materials and book types, the evolution of script and the role of sacred books in the spiritual life of Georgian Monasteries throughout Georgia and the world’s most significant Holy Places, such as St. Catherine’s and Mount Athos in Greece. It includes important ancient writings; illuminated Gospels and devotional manuscripts, as well as early period editions of classical texts.
This is a journey to the period when Georgia builds around it a set of connections through the highly delicate taste of Art and wisdom.
