Text introduction to the catalog:
The Black Sphinx II, the second chapter of that art journey started with The Black Sphinx show, aims to highlight a careful selection of emerging contemporary artists whose practice and life intertwine with Africa.
This exhibition exploits the book written by Mario Appelius, first published in 1925. In the almost unknown Africa of that time – at least from a Western perspective - a group of European explorers began to look for trade opportunities, investigating both cultural and political aspects. The long and difficult path that goes through the entire black continent is meticulously described by the author, able to transmit the African magic environment and to create an engaging atmosphere.
