African Dream Machines
African Dream Machines takes African headrests out of the category of functional objects and into the more rarefied category of ‘art’ objects. Styles in African headrests are usually defined in terms of western art and archaeological discourses, but this book interrogates these definitions of style and demonstrates the shortcomings of defining a single formal style model as exclusive to a single ethnic group. Among the artefacts made by southern African peoples, headrests were the best known. Anitra Nettleton’s study of the uses and forms of headrests opened up a number of art-historical methodologies in the attempt to gain an understanding of form, style and content in African art objects. Her drawings of each and every headrest encountered become a major part of the project.
Congo Far West:
Deux jeunes artistes et acteurs culturels de Lubumbashi, le photographe Sammy Baloji et l'écrivain Patrick Mudekereza, ont été invités en résidence par le Musée royal de l'Afrique centrale et l'université de Gand. Lors de ce séjour au musée, ils ont produit diverses créations en dialogue avec une équipe scientifique multidisciplinaire et ont choisi de baptiser le projet " Congo Far West ", induisant une réflexion sur le rapport entre ces collections et l'actuelle République démocratique du Congo. Ce " Cahier de la résidence ", de même que l'exposition présentée au MRAC du 11 mai au 4 septembre 2011 sont les fruits de ce projet expérimental, transnational, interculturel et interdisciplinaire.

Geology and Resource Potential of the Congo Basin
This book summarizes the geomorphology, geology, geochronology, geophysics and mineral resources of the Congo Basin, one of the world’s most enigmatic and poorly understood major intra-continental sedimentary basins, and its flanking areas of Central Africa. It provides an up to date analysis of the large region’s origin and evolution. The book’s nineteen chapters take the reader through the entire basement history, as well as the Basin’s ca. 700 million years of cover sequences. Starting from its Archean cratons and Proterozoic mobile belts, and proceeding through the Phanerozoic sequences, including the most recent Cenozoic successions, the book also explores the present drainage s...
