Asen, Ancestors, And Vodun

Asen, metal sculptures of southern Benin, West Africa, are created to honour the dead. This work traces more than 150 years of transformations in the manufacture and symbolic meanings of asen against the backdrop of a slave-raiding monarchy, domination by French colonialism, and postcolonial political and social change.
