Next to the attention for tropical doctors in general, the exhibition focuses on their encounter with very different, often exotic ideas and concepts in mainly Africa. It is about the magic thinking of disease, of (in)fertility or in fact of all matters in life, that depend on fate. Power and ill fate ask for counteraction or exorcism and need to be averted by opposing powers using images, rituals, charms, ceremonies, etc. The exhibition is aiming at just that world of ideas using materials from former tropical doctors. The ethnographic objects reflect the fascination of tropical doctors with african culture. CONTENT: I The tropical doctor and native traditions II The tropical doctor and native ways to fight against illness III A confrontation with fertility and symbolism related to fertility IV Albert Schweitzer colourered.
