Black Paris Photo Gallery by Guenter Eh at pbase.com

Black Paris

The idea to create this gallery came after a visit of an exhibition at the Museum "Cultures of the World" in Frankfurt named "Black Paris"(art and history of a black "diaspora" 1906-2006). After a request for taking fotos the friendly people of the museum allowed me to take some shots at the exhibition, these fotos are the main part of this gallery. In addition I will post some fotos to the theme from my previous and upcoming Paris trips. This gallery does not have the requirement of a scientific documentation. The pictures represent only single documentations and some own impressions to the topic. A certain order is not given.

It`s a very personal project, I will worked on it the next weeks and I like to share it with all are interested in the theme. Many of the pictures are documents/reproduction shots of the exhibition - the credits goes to the artists.

I really loved Black Paris. Ti beats the hell our of Black America. No chains, no beatings, no slaves, no slave ships, no dogs, no water holes washing the black people back, no drigging or hangings, no begging to vote,having kids sold like dogs. I saw happiness and good times by all her. Black and white. I truly liked this site.
