Windhoek

NEXT Tuesday an exhibition 'In the Shade of the Acacia - Research in African Deserts' will open at the National Art Gallery.

After its successful start at the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum in Cologne, Germany with more than 20000 visitors the exhibition will be officially opened by the Namibian Minister of Environment and Tourism and the German Ambassador, Freiherr Arne von Kittlitz und Ottendorf.

The exhibition presents the results of the Collaborative Research Project Acacia supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Council) since 1995.

About 140 scholars from the German Universities - Cologne and Bonn - conducted research on cultural and environmental change in sometimes relatively inaccessible regions in north-east Africa (Egypt, Libya, Sudan and Chad) and south west Africa (Angola, Namibia, South Africa).

Their results of the collaborating disciplines as African Studies, Egyptology, Botany, Ethnology, Geography and Archaeology will be presented in five modules on deserts and savannahs. With the help of photographs, film sequences and unique objects it will be possible to experience their research visually and acoustically.

The NAGN is hosting the travelling exhibition from April 15 until June 16.
