In 2010, Cameroonian artist Herv\u00e9 Youmbi created \u201cTotems to Haunt Our Dreams\u201d, a shifting, morphable space that moves across continents and oceans to tell a politically charged story about what it means to be an artist at work on the global arts scene today. By way of this movable architecture, \u201cTotems\u201d takes to task and debunks a whole cluster of preconceived notions. First among these notions are widely held perceptions about the place of African artists on the world market.<\/p>\n
