  • This article attempts to question the concept of intangible heritage through contemporary African art. For those who consider the former a pure Western creation, it seeks to emphasize not only the connection between traditional and contemporary African art but also the re-appropriations of the pre-colonial repertoire by contemporary African artists. This approach has the advantage of eliminating the polarization between traditional art which supposedly would result from the past and a contemporary art which would be specific to global modernity
