"Heroic Africans: Legendary Leaders, Iconic Sculptures" At The Metropolitan Museum Of Art

African art and it's history have mostly been reduced and maligned; often referenced as “primitive.” Thankfully, a new exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, "Heroic Africans: Legendary Leaders, Iconic Sculptures,” powerfully defies this misrepresentation through its commanding pre-colonial sculptures. The art captures kings and kingdoms as well as chiefs and chiefdoms from the era.
