ARTH 386 - Arts of the African Diaspora

(3)
This course investigates an ongoing dialogue of artistic expression between Western and Central Africa and the Americas. These “Africanisms” forge a transatlantic visual culture linking art among African-American populations in North and Latin America with artistic African traditions and philosophies of Yoruba, Kongo, Dahomey, and Mande peoples. Issues and topics range from vernacular practices of yard ornamentation and quilt making to the work of trained, fine artists from both Africa and the Americas. Even years Spring.
