- This is the first video I ever tried to do. It shows one room in my house full of Tribal Art such as Mami Wata sculptures from Togo or Voodoo objects from Haiti. My website is www.about-africa.de. Would be great if you take a look at it and: Subscribe this RUclips Channel. I try to post more videos from real Tribal Art events in the future. The filming was done with my smartphone, the editing with OpenShot. Best Ingo Barlovic

Thanks for showing us your collection great atmosphere in that room!
Great! Thanks for sharing your collection. I love your Mami Water collection...
Great channel
The tribalists use the art to collect the dead. These communicate through ordinary telekinesis or sometimes the singing of anthems. The brite songs take them back to their times. The more grotesque the mask, the fonder the memory. The children were not of age. So, they are forgotten.
I like all your masks. The pig nosed ones are really interesting. Despite their close proximity, the collection has a soul, which might be lost if they were all separated and on stands or in glass cases. The Haitian vou dou objects are surreal.....very appealing, and shocking at the same time.
This is inspiring. I love your Art Collection. I should do a RUclips video of my collection as well.
Super , thanks a lot!
Love it.
Thank you so much for sharing.
The black hunkered figure, looks philippine to me.
Hi there, thanks for letting us have a look at your collection. at 2:41 in the video there are two funny looking wooded statues next to the shortest twin figures and before the larger dark-brown figure. Are these also twin figures?
Maybe they are a pair, but they are not twin figures: They come from Tanzania.
Omg I'm dying. 😲
Space problems..ya I got em...🤣
Why not buy a few good pièces instead of all that junk?
But as long as you love them you have my blessing
Are you the infamous Westerdijk of whome some people think he deals in fakes?
This is Crazy, why keep these in a room instead of exposure, besides did you obtain them legally
Yes, I did obtain them legally :-) However, there is not so much interest among people to see them to do an exhibition. And: An exposure room costs to much money.
hello i got a few questions
I see an interesting Philippine figure on shelf 2?
Which one do you mean? The large fern tree sculptures? Or the stone lid of a urn?
Now i know. I guess you mean my Hipag/Bulul. Yes, is an old one.
why refer to art as tribal? we need to change our language.Don't get me wrong I appreciate your channel but this is traditional art instead of "tribal"
I fully understand you! In my newst vdeos I mostly use 'traditional'. However: The wording 'tribal art' is learned and people are still searching for this.
Have you ever thought about returning the artifacts since the original acquirement of them was due to robbery in colonial times?
Most objects you see in my room were collected/bought from dealers in Africa in the 1970ies until the 1990ies. They have nothing to do with 'robbery in colonial times".
Dear Ngali, did you see my answer to your comment?
most african art is in fact made by request of white man so that is actually not true
can i get your email
give us back are art , stop stilling .
Dear Jackyo Art, most art you see here was bought in Togo in the 1970ies. And some of the carvers still live and create such objects. Why should it be given back? Everybody can still buy this in Togo.
There's nothing i like about any of these art pieces. Return them!
I shall return them because you don't like them???? And to whom shall I return them? To the dealers who bougth them in the 1970ies to 1990ies?
@@about-africa3459 You already answered. To the owners and their ancestors.
@@afrofeast But most of the pieces were sold by the owners between 1970ies to 1980ies, mostly in Togo. Why should the get back piecs which they sold?
@@about-africa3459 Money doesn't buy everything. Return Togolese art.
@@afrofeast Sorry, but do you know there are stil existing cults like Mami Wata in Togo and that they still create objects for ritual purposes? So, why should they take old ones if they have new ones?
