Koninklijk Instituut voor de Tropen Global encounters in the world of art

collisions of tradition and modernity

When referring to the art of Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America and the Arab world, people often think of traditional art forms. Contemporary artists from cultures and countries outside Europe are highly critical of this common Western expectation that non-Western cultures should above all be traditional. The contributors (artists, curators and scientists) try to point out that there's also modern art outside Europe and pay attention to the relationship between the old and the new.
