The White Hunter – African Memories and Representations

The White Hunter, African memories and representations is a publication produced on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition produced by FM Centre for Contemporary Art in Milan and curated by Marco Scotini. This book is not only a catalogue on the exhibition, but it is rather a context in which the subjects of the show, are interrogated in another form.
With over 30 contemporary and an equal number of anonymous, traditional artists with more than 150 works, Il Cacciatore Bianco/The White Hunter presents a path articulated around the forms of representation and reconstruction of memory and African contemporary reality through works from—as well as from the Parisian Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain—major Italian collections and archive material on Italian colonial history. The artists are positioned over an almost complete map of the African continent, covering 15 different nations: Tunisia, Algeria, Mali, Senegal, Sierra Leone, the Ivory Coast, Ghana, Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon, Congo, Kenya, Mozambique, Madagascar and South Africa.
