History:
Tribal Perspectives is London’s only exhibition to focus on works of art from rapidly diminishing cultures.
This well-established group show has an international following, and was first launched in 2007. Tribal Perspectives features seven leading galleries from around the globe, each a specialist in the art and cultural artefacts of peoples from Africa to Oceania.
This multi-cultural event offers a unique selling exhibition of precious objects from rapidly diminishing cultures, combined with lectures by leading authorities.
Tribal Perspectives seeks to offer an insight in to and an understanding of the rituals and historic customs of tribal peoples, many of whose way of life is rapidly coming under threat, if not already subsumed in to a homogenized world of ‘development’.
Tribal influences are never far from mainstream fashion and contemporary art.  Artists such as Picasso, Matisse, Braque and Modigliani were inspired by these cultures, whilst today they are appreciated and their artefacts collected by the likes of David Attenborough, the designer John Rocha and the well-travelled TV presenter and author Griff Rhys Jones.

Exhibitors at Tribal Perspectives will include:
           ALEX ARTHUR (Belgium) - Tribal art
           BRYAN REEVES (UK) - African tribal art
           CHARLES VERNON-HUNT BOOKS (UK) - Art books
           CHRIS BOYLAN (Australia) - Tribal art from PNG and Oceanic
           ADAM PROUT (UK) - Tribal art and objects from around the world
