Klaas de Jonge (born 1937) studied anthropology and sociology in Amsterdam and Paris and worked as a social researcher in various African countries; the last 10 years especially in Central Africa in the field of conflict studies. In the 1980s he was actively involved in the anti-apartheid struggle in Southern Africa. Since his first contacts with Africa (mid 1960s) he has been fascinated by African art; recently he donated a part of his private collection to the State Ethnographical Museum in Warsaw.
During the exhibition Klaas de Jonge will tell about his African art collection at 15.00 hrs.
