Ethnic & Religious

Ethnic groups of the world

Ethnographic art, also known as non-western art or tribal art is the visual arts and material culture of Indigenous Peoples. Ethnographic art is often ceremonial or religious in nature and usually originates from Sub-Saharan Africa, the Americas and Oceania (Australia, New Zealand and more). Of course, this is a western view on the topic. What is it that fascinates us? Is it the raw beauty of things or is it all about the stories that belong to the ethnographic art items?
