Summary:

"Style Congo: Heritage & Heresy onderzoekt de principes van culturele representatie en toe-eigening aan de hand van hedendaagse artistieke en architecturale interventies, evenals historisch materiaal voornamelijk uit de CIVA-collectie in Brussel. Dit boek is gebaseerd op de gelijknamige tentoonstelling en laat zien hoe Congo vanaf de art nouveau in beeld werd gebracht in internationale en koloniale tentoonstellingen die tussen 1885 en 1958 in België, Frankrijk en Congo werden georganiseerd."-- On back of cover.

"Style Congo: Heritage & Heresy examines the politics of cultural representation and appropriation through contemporary artistic and architectural interventions, as well as historical materials primarily sourced from the CIVA collection in Brussels. Starting with the Art Nouveau movement and stemming from the exhibition of the same name, this book traces the portrayal of the Congo in international and colonial exhibitions in Belgium, France, and the Congo between 1885 and 1958"-- Provided by publisher.
