Dear readers, supporters, contributors and friends of EVC,
Â
Strolling through a museum (wishful thinking for many of us right now) we often ask ourselves "What is the meaning of an object in its original context?" Museum FĂĽnf Kontinente in Munich, Germany invited Ghanaian scholars to comment on museum objects from Western Africa.The result is a gallery of eight exciting explorations:

Â
Only a few steps further apart from that museum, at Haus der Kunst, British-Kenyan painter Michael Armitage is featured in a solo exhibition. What might be the meaning behind his often mysterious colorful paintings?
Â
We hope you enjoy exploring and reading our latest articles.

Kind regards,
