pozivaju Vas na svečano otvaranje izložbe
„Tegovi za merenje zlatnog praha naroda Akan“
Petak, 14. 10. u 18 časova,
u Centru za posetioce Narodne banke Srbije
u ulici Kralja Petra 12
Izložba će trajati do 15. novembra,
svakog radnog dana od 10 do 16 časova.
Ulaz je slobodan.
Posetioci će moći da vide više od 500 predmeta iz zbirke Muzeja afričke umetnosti i upoznaju značaj koji su u globalnoj istoriji imala bogata nalazišta zlata, trgovinske i kulturne veze na prostoru Zapadne Afrike.
Narodi Akan, naseljeni u područjima savremene Gane i Obale Slonovače, koristili su zlatni prah kao sredstvo plaćanja od 15. do kraja 19. veka, a za potrebe merenja izrađivali su tegove najraznovrsnijih oblika i motiva. Kao minijaturne skulpture u bronzi, tegovi predstavljaju čitav svet u malom: ljude, životinje, biljke, predmete, ali i različite geometrijske oblike. Posebno se ističe bogata simbolika zastupljenih motiva, jer mnogi ilustruju poslovice i narodne priče i čuvaju sećanja na bitke, mitove i legende.
Pored tegova, na izložbi će biti prikazane i vage, kašičice i kutije za zlatni prah, kao i primeri modela i kalupa za livenje bronze.
Autorka izložbe je Marija Ličina, kustos Muzeja afričke umetnosti.
Izložba je organizovana u saradnji Narodne banke Srbije i Muzeja afričke umetnosti povodom Svetskog meseca štednje koji se obeležava svakog oktobra.

The National Bank of Serbia
and
The Museum of African Art
would like to invite you to the exhibition opening
„Akan Goldweights“
Friday, October 14th at 6 p.m.
at the Visitor Center of the National Bank of Serbia
12, Kralja Petra street
The exhibition will last until November 15th,
opened all working days from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Entrance is free.
The visitors will have the opportunity to see more than 500 objects from the collection of the Museum of African Art, that bear witness to the importance of natural gold resources, trade and cultural relations of the region of West Africa in global history.
The Akan peoples that inhabit areas of Ghana and Ivory Coast rich in gold, used gold dust as currency from the 15th century until the end of the 19th century and produced goldweights of different shapes as means of measurement. Like miniature sculptures in bronze, the goldweights represent an entire world in miniature form: people, animals, flora, artefacts, and also different geometric shapes. The rich symbolism of represented motifs is especially appealing, for many of the goldweights illustrate Akan proverbs and folk tales and treasure memories of battles, myths and legends.
Besides goldweights, the exhibition will present scales, spoons and boxes for gold dust and also examples of wax models and molds for casting bronze.
The author of the exhibition is Marija Ličina, curator of the Museum of African Art.
The exhibition is organized as a result of the cooperation of the National Bank of Serbia and the Museum of African Art on the occasion of celebrating the World Savings Month that is organized every year in October.
