Sahel: Art and Empires
on the Shores of the Sahara


The Met
2020





















This exhibition presents a complex and layered history of Sahelian art and civilizations, fro prehistory to the eve of colonialism.

The exhibition design expands these layers, parsing the material to promote a consciou reading, rather than serving the visitor with a single linear narrative.
