Black Seat

If the primary function of the seat evokes the comfort or repose of the man, he is also a symbol of authority, exchanges or observance. In many African societies, the head plays a crucial role. He removed the many dangers of a hostile soil, he accompanied the break or the arguments, it connects man to the ground, he embodies authority, ancestors or totem animals. For
"sublimated forms, stamped with a large variety and freedom of sculptors, plus skates, wear, repairs or successive embellishments that shape the lives of several owners.

Horses of Korèdugaw
of
Mali

The Korèdugaw, jesters ritual form une classe à part des autres sociétés initiatiques bamana.

Intervenant, en groupe, dans tous les événements de la vie sociale, ils tournent en dérision, par leur comportement et leurs paroles licencieuses, tous les pouvoirs, tous les savoirs, toutes les situations. Affublés de colliers faits de graines ou de vertèbres de poisson, d’une chemise en filet à laquelle sont accrochés têtes de calao séchés, morceaux de calebasses, vieux ustensiles, ils portent quelquefois sur le visage un masque « hyène » ou un masque « cheval ». Enfin, ils chevauchent le korèdugasò ou « cheval du Korèduga » représentant une tête de cheval au a stick, and behave like riders on a spirited horse, causing chaos and hilarity in their wake. A wide selection of these horses will be presented, dating from the second half of the twentieth century. From different regions of Mali, they are wooden, some metal completely covered, others richly adorned with carved brass. Some are realistic, others full of inventions. All are different.

A catalog written by Jean - Paul Colleyn accompanies the exhibition.
