How should the ethnographic gems of African art be presented in our time? The Centre for Fine Arts and the Royal Museum for Central Africa have joined forces to offer a bold answer to that question during its summer festival, Visionary Africa. Held at the CFA, GEO-graphics, the festival’s main exhibition, sets out to recontextualise more than 220 objects of breathtaking beauty from the Museum and from other Belgian public and private collections by bringing them face to face with the work of contemporary African artists.

EVENT:
[VA] A Passage to Asia: 25 Centuries of Exchange between Asia and Europe at Centre for Fine Arts, Brussels
(in Brussels Region, Kingdom of Belgium, Earth)
TIME(S): 10am / 10:00 to 6pm / 18:00 Friday - Wednesday | 10am / 10:00 to 9pm / 21:00 Thursdays
DATE(S): Friday, June 25 to Sunday, October 10, 2010
DESCRIPTION:
Europe and Asia have had close relations for thousands of years. Commercial and political networks developed both on land - via the Silk Road - and on sea. Conquerors like Alexander the Great, Attila, and Genghis Khan set out in search of glory, wealth, and power; travellers like Marco Polo, Zheng He, and Magellan were fascinated by riches, silk, spices, porcelain, etc. Trade opened the way for the spread of major religious and philosophical trends, inexhaustible sources of inspirations for art and culture. A Passage to Asia draws on the treasures of twenty different countries to highlight 2,500 years of exchanges between Asia and Europe. Both the exhibition and a festival will coincide with the ASEM (Asia-Europe Meeting) 2010 summit.
