The exhibition title is a metaphor alluding to the systems that impose colonial thought, and the need to overcome these systems and reinstate a viewpoint that should never have been removed. This is the reason for the reference to Lucy, the female hominid considered for many years to be the grandmother of humanity. This historical appropriation is the starting point for the exhibition, which symbolically gives Lucy back her viewpoint through the eyes and the offerings of a selection of major contemporary African female artists who have made a contribution and a pledge to the cultural construction of Africa.
