 enin\, the birthplace of the traditional African Vodoun religion\, is also
  home to other related belief systems with rich spiritual traditions datin
 g back to the earliest times. The country has an impressive history\, shap
 ed by powerful kingdoms and fierce wars. Stories of glorious heroes\, the 
 legendary Amazons\, and exceptional courage and loyalty are a source of na
 tional pride. But Benin also has a past full of tragedy\, culminating in t
 he dark age of the slave trade. The Beninese soil has seen both the best a
 nd the worst of humanity and reflects this rich and complex heritage. In t
 his exhibition\, we present the work of five artists who are deeply rooted
  in this layered history and the spiritual heritage that is still palpable
  in every fiber of Beninese society: Tchif Tchiakpe\, Sanda Amadou\, Marce
 l Kpoho\, Sébastien Boko and Elise Tokoudagba.
