Arts produced in Africa by "power associations" (komo, kono for example), a dynamic form of arts, in which the objects are made of diverse materials and the leader of the "power association" uses them a bit like a chaman to help people, there may be a performance around the objects and the leader modifies them from one use to another, also they are not shown entirely to keep the secret of their power. "Boliw" are such objects.
I wonder if there is a term in French for "accumulative arts", I haven't found any.
Context: conference on African arts.

art(s) cumulatif(s)
16. L’approche purement fonctionnaliste de l’art africain qui devait s’imposer dans les années 50, du reste contestable en soi, ne suffit pas à faire oublier les exégèses cubistes et les pratiques désastreuses qu’elles inspiraient. Ce n’est que depuis deux ou trois décennies que l’on a admis, dans la vague du succès que «l’art cumulatif» (A. Warhol, Arman F., J.-W. Mestach) a soulevée en Occident, que l’ «objet» africain relevait lui aussi, comme nous l’avons dit, d’une forme d’ «esthétique de l’accumulation».
