Event Details

In the heart of Côte d’Ivoire, at the junction between the wooded savanna and the forest, live the Yaure, surrounded by more numerous and better known peoples (the Guro, the Baule), in whose shadow they have long survived, and farther away, by the Senufo, the Dan, the Dida and the lagoon peoples. Though the masks and statuettes produced by the Yaure enchanted European artists and collectors from the early twentieth century on, it is only very recently that the Yaure people and culture have been the subject of an anthropological work.
