Gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Secrecy is the common feature of the so-called allo kafii gida Qur'anic writing boards used by the Hausa of northern Nigeria. While on the one hand their owners share a barely concealed reluctance to reveal the auspicious epigrams decorating these artefacts, on the other they exhibit a clear desire to avoid displaying images of animals and human beings that might cause repercussions in an iconoclastic Islamic context. One need only consider that even today possessing an allo kafii gida incurs severe punishment by the most fervent Moslems, sometimes extending to the death penalty. Every board in this book would have been destroyed by Islamic fundamentalists if it had not somehow been saved at some time in the past. 192 pp. Englisch.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Secrecy is the common feature of the so-called allo kafii gida Qur'anic writing boards used by the Hausa of northern Nigeria. While on the one hand their owners share a barely concealed reluctance to reveal the auspicious epigrams decorating these artefacts, on the other they exhibit a clear desire to avoid displaying images of animals and human beings that might cause repercussions in an iconoclastic Islamic context. One need only consider that even today possessing an allo kafii gida incurs severe punishment by the most fervent Moslems, sometimes extending to the death penalty. Every board in this book would have been destroyed by Islamic fundamentalists if it had not somehow been saved at some time in the past. Those who made the decorations embellishing these Qur'anic tablets were not simply illustrators; they were nothing short of troubadours, painting on wooden panels the tales depicting the cosmic connections of the society in which they lived. Over the years, the cosmic ideas of distant foreign lands were incorporated in the Hausas' system of thought and these allo kafii gida have thus turned into cosmological time capsules impressed on wooden panels. In view of this challenging cultural context, the owners of these artworks can be described as 'curators' of these secret boards, which, in spite of serving the Islamic religion, actually record Hausa cosmology. The artefacts adorning the book are truly unique in the field of extra-European art and come from a private collection built over a period of twenty years of painstaking research. AUTHOR: Antoine Lema is a sociologist (PhD) at Lund University, Sweden, with an engaging passion for photography and the exploration of visual arts, but particularly primary African Arts. The subject of his thesis was 'The Ethnicity of Civil Wars in Africa' (Lund,1993). For the past 20 years, he has worked as a World Bank expert in Washington DC, travelling extensively in Africa, not forgetting his passions. In 2008, he initiated and together with the art curator organised the Africa Now exhibition at the World Bank in Washington, DC. Showcasing the works of 160 artists in design, poetry, film, sculptures, paintings and photography, the event was considered the largest representation ever of African artists at one single exhibition. Allo Kafi Gida is the first of his African Art narratives to be published. 148 colour images Over the years, the cosmic ideas of distant foreign lands were incorporated in the Hausas' system of thought and the allo kafii gida have thus turned into cosmological time capsules impressed on wooden panels.

Couverture rigide. Condition: Neuf. Edition originale. Paris 2019. 1 Volume/1.-- Neuf -- Reliure éditeur cartonnée illustrée. Format grand in-4°(.34,8 x 25,3 cm )(.1830 gr) ----- 192 pages. ****************** Présentation éditeur : "" Les tablettes coraniques appelées allo kafii gida, conservées par l ethnie des hausa qui peuplent le nord du Nigeria, sont marquées du sceau du secret. Les hausa ont peur de révéler à des étrangers les formules de bon augure qui ornent ces objets. Et ils refusent aussi de prendre le risque d exposer des représentations d êtres humains et d animaux dans un contexte islamique iconoclaste. Aujourd hui encore, l islam radical punit sévèrement la possession d allo kafii gida par des sanctions pouvant aller jusqu à l exécution capitale. Si elles n avaient pas été sauvées au fil du temps, toutes les tablettes de ce livre auraient été vouées à la destruction par les fondamentalistes musulmans. Les auteurs des décorations qui ornent les tablettes coraniques ne sont pas de simples illustrateurs, ce sont de véritables conteurs : ils ont peint sur ces planches de bois les récits qui reflètent la vision cosmique de leur société. À travers la création artistique, ils ont incorporé des idées étrangères et lointaines dans le système de pensée des hausa, faisant de ces allo kafii gida de véritables capsules cosmologiques sur bois. Dans ce contexte difficile, on peut qualifier les propriétaires de ces oeuvres d art de « conservateurs », car ces tablettes secrètes, bien que liées à la religion musulmane, témoignent de la cosmologie hausa. Les objets dont les photographies illustrent cet ouvrage, uniques dans le domaine des arts extraeuropéens, appartiennent à une collection privée fruit de plus de vingt années de recherches."" *********************.…
