Description

Les tablettes coraniques appelées allo kafii gida, conservées par l'ethnie des hausa qui peuplent le nord du Nigeria, sont marquées du sceau du secret. Les hausa ont peur de révéler à des étrangers les formules de bon augure qui ornent ces objets. Et ils refusent aussi de prendre le risque d'exposer des représentations d'êtres humains et d'animaux dans un contexte islamique iconoclaste. Aujourd'hui encore, l'islam radical punit sévèrement la possession d'allo kafii gida par des sanctions pouvant aller jusqu'à l'exécution capitale. Si elles n'avaient pas été sauvées au fil du temps, toutes les tablettes de ce livre auraient été vouées à la destruction par les fondamentalistes musulmans. Les auteurs des décorations qui ornent les tablettes coraniques ne sont pas de simples illustrateurs, ce sont de véritables conteurs : ils ont peint sur ces planches de bois les récits qui reflètent la vision cosmique de leur société. A travers la création artistique, ils ont incorporé des idées étrangères et lointaines dans le système de pensée des hausa, faisant de ces allo kafii gida de véritables capsules cosmologiques sur bois. Dans ce contexte difficile, on peut qualifier les propriétaires de ces oeuvres d'art de "conservateurs ", car ces tablettes secrètes, bien que liées à la religion musulmane, témoignent de la cosmologie hausa. Les objets dont les photographies illustrent cet ouvrage, uniques dans le domaine des arts extraeuropéens, appartiennent à une collection privée fruit de plus de vingt années de recherches.
