  • welcome to Cotonou in Benin. In today's vlog you will drive your motorcycle to the presidential Palace to see an amazing African Art exhibition. African art stolen by the colonizer as well as contemporary art are exposed in the museum of the presidential palace.
    I hope you will enjoy this episode ! I also hope the process of restitution of the art that as been stolen can keep going ! I was really happy to see the school kids discovering their culture and art in this really lovely museum.

      i was also thinking while walking there,
      the future president of Benin may be 10 years old today,
      and he may have stepped here at this exhibition,
      that s really good to see the kids here

    This really did it for me. Thanks Ludo for visiting and sharing this art exhibition. It gives me joy that African societies are beginning to appreciate their history through art and especially opening the doors to those who ordinarily would be left behind. Nothing more beautiful than seeing the kids partake this exhibition. It's not just a peep at the past but it opens the window to the future of the country. A very bright one.

    12:06 Voodoo mood in this painting ... I stared at it for a good while. There is something similar in The Garden of the Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch.
    Those 3-dimencional works (14:00 and 14:10) are marvelous.

    • @Ludo_Liu
      @Ludo_Liu  2 роки тому +1

      the two painting at 12:06 are actually representations of the two major historical king statues you can see earlier at 7:34 .
      I was also kind of amazed by these assemblage at the end as well as i was by the helmet.
      cheers Sir !

    • @akiensio425
      @akiensio425 2 роки тому +1

      I can't get a grip of the painting at 12:06 ... but I can feel a bit anxious inside. Maybe it is a wrong interpretation. Hieronymus at least depicted the madness in a sensible manner 🙂.
      Anyways ... the painting on the right is narrated classically and is conventionally composed on the canvas. I would hang it on the wall even though the vessels can be slave ships.
      The museum is actually packed with interesting works ... just let your brain interpret what your eyes see.

    This is presidential palace and it is accessible to people. Benin is civilized and safer than Nigeria from that point of view.
    In Nigeria you will be shot by the guarding soldiers before you even get to the gate entrance. I can remember vividly an Nigerian UA-camr called Eboh Media who misses his way and drives close to the governor's gate and he is almost beaten by the ugly guards. The level of aggression by the soldiers toward him is unexplainable. We must dissolve the absolute power given to our Nigerian leaders. They are abusing it.
