		Portraits of Tanzania photographic exhibition by Marko Todorovic

Travelling across the Continent over the years, Marko Todorovic has examined illustrative and documentary research materials, selected works of art, words and pictures in Africa, and about Africa. The reality reproduced in the case of photographer Marko Todorovic, produces a restrained attitude of respect for the people of East Africa, the outcome being not strictly "high art", or a social or anthropological study. We observe Tanga, Dar es Salaam, Korogve, Arusha, Mount Usumbara, Pemba Island and Zanzibar. Adults absorbed in their daily occupations, children on their way to school, enjoying their childhood through games and singing, Todorević’s Portraits from Tanzania are never sentimental or rhetorical, but always turn to intrinsic goodness and innocence - indeed the global superiority of the "common man".

The Afro Festival is the MAA’s annual event that promotes and presents the cultural heritage of Africa through exhibitions, concerts, public talks, film and video screenings, visual art and music workshops, as well as sale exhibitions. Contemporary African art and creativity exceed the limits of a continent and therefore the MAA, through a variety of cultural contents, aims at accentuating the importance of African artistic heritage outside the borders of the continent.
