Crossing Rivers: From the Jordan to the Congo.
Art and Christianity in Central Africa
Crossing Rivers: from the Jordan to the Congo. Art and Christianity in Central Africa demonstrates the unique 500 year-long history through which religious and political traditions of various peoples of Central Africa integrated the encounter with Christianity by reinterpreting beliefs, rituals and/or objects which were unknown to them. These artefacts (crucifixes, Saint Anthony,figures inspired of the Marian cult...) reveal the incredible artistic and cultural profusion in this region.
