African Arts and Architecture

African Arts and Architecture. Africa’s arts and architectural forms are as diverse and dynamic as its peoples. In chronological and thematic order, this course examines the emergence of some of Africa’s earliest rock arts, architectural forms, textiles/cloths, and more recent artistic expressions. We focus on internal and external influences such as long-distance trade, ancient Christianity, Islam, and European colonialism shaped local aesthetic innovations and the built environment. We also highlight Africa’s influences on global modernist artistic and cultural expressions.

Section Title:
Mod & Contemp Native Amer Art
Section Info:
Modern & Contemporary Native American Art. In this course, we will study the history of Native American art and artists from the late 19th century up through the present day. We will consider ways in which a modality of persistence and a commitment to Indigenous futurity characterize the history of modern and contemporary Native American art, performance, and film, and we will engage thoughtfully with a growing body of art-historical scholarship that articulates and utilizes Indigenous research methods and knowledge systems.
