*THE MESSAGE BEHIND THE IMAGE IN PREHISTORIC AND TRIBAL ART.* Dear colleague and friend, Prehistoric and tribal people all over the world have left behind millions of images, in Africa, America, Asia, Europe and Oceania. This immense heritage is full of messages, to be read and understood or to stimulate debate, or both. What are the images telling us? What are the stories that the makers intended to memorize or communicate? Can you contribute to these queries? Human and animal figures are describing events, myths, and memories. Some images can be decoded and their stories enrich our understanding of past cultures; other images are yet to be understood and awaken scientific inquisitiveness. Both cases are of interest and worth being offered to the public desire of knowledge. *EXPRESSION *magazine is planning an issue on this topic. Colleagues are invited to present their case or their query, before May 15, 2017, to the project *“Reading the Message”, EXPRESSION * magazine:*[log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>*.
