Text introduction to the catalog:
The Black Sphinx is the title-metaphor that refers to Africa, a continent that, at the south of Egypt and its wonders (including the famous Sphinx), still apppears “black” and unknown at the beginning of the twentieth century. This exhibition draws inspiration from the book written by Mario Appelius “La Sfinge Nera. Dal Marocco al Madagascar” and published in the 1920s, after the First World War.
The story tells about the discovery of Africa through a journey of European and American explorers aimed at knowing the continent's politics and society.
