African Art: A window into animistic thinking

In Africa, there is a very close link between art and animistic spirituality, which gives every thing a soul and a spirit. This dissertation explores an often little-known way of thinking that nevertheless profoundly permeates African art. The aim of this research, for those unaware of the concept, is to capture all the transmission-related issues hidden behind objects that seem purely aesthetic. We strive to understand the complexity of the animistic message that seeks to remind humans of their rightful place as mortals and how these messages materialise through creations. Finally, this dissertation explores the relevance of this ancestral but largely forgotten way of thinking in the face of modernity, offering new perspectives in a context of current global crisis.
