Origins and History
Contemporary Africa Sculptures have a rich and complex history that dates back to the pre-colonial era. These sculptures were used for religious, social, and political purposes and were made from various materials such as wood, metal, and clay. Many of these sculptures were created during the 19th century and the early 20th century, a period marked by colonialism and the subsequent fight for independence. During this time, artists played a pivotal role in shaping the cultural identity of Africa, and their work reflected the struggles and triumphs of the African people. Today, contemporary African sculptures continue to evolve and reflect the changing social and political landscape of the continent.
