Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Different sense is also attributed to a given animal symbol by the same people through the course of time. There is certainly no easy explanation of why animals like snakes and penguins appear over and over again in the art of many peoples across the African continent, while others like rhinos, zebras, and giraffes rarely if ever do.

The DVD, 'Ci Wara Invocation, ' "presents the highlights of a dozen ci wara performances in Bamana communities in present-day Mali that were recorded by five different observers between 1970-2002.

The ci wara performances are part of biannual celebrations that either launch or conclude the farming season."--Container

Book excerpt: The art of sub-Saharan Africa reveals the marvelous achievements of unknown artists over thousands of years. Their aesthetic ideal finds form in wood, ivory, fabric, bronze and iron. This illustrated study of traditional African art includes pieces from Western Sudan, the Congolese Basin, the Guinea coast, Gabon, the Democratic Republic of Congo and East and South Africa. Each piece is characterized by its own traditions and artistic forms. The earliest works date from the beginning of the first millennium, the most recent from the early 20th century. Unique and rare examples are documented, many heretofore virtually unknown.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: KEYNOTE: This book provides a savvy survey of the latest work by designers, craftspeople, and architects of African descent around the world. Artists and designers of African ancestry-many in Africa but also others throughout Europe, the Americas, and the Far East- are working in a wide array of mediums: fashion, architecture, non-traditional crafts, design, fine art, and photography. Authors Lowery Stokes Sims and Leslie King-Hammond, together with six contributors, challenge presumptions of what constitutes an 'African' style or aesthetic, and demonstrate the power and expressive potential of materials, textures and forms. Work by well-known artists such as Yinka Shonibare, MBE and architects including David Adjaye appear alongside those of lesser-known but equally exciting designers whose garments, carpets, baskets, ceramics, furniture, body arts, wall painting, photographs and sculpture blur the distinction between art and craft. The result is an enormously diverse display of young and established talent, and a wide-ranging survey of contemporary African art and design. AUTHOR: LOWERY STOKES SIMS is Director and Organizing Curator of the Global Africa Project and the Charles Bronfman International Curator at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City. She has published extensively on African, Latino, Native and Asian American Artists. She is a contributor to Fritz Scholder: Indian/ Not Indian (Prestel). LESLIE KING-HAMMOND is the founding director of the Center for Race and Culture and the Maryland Institute College of Art. A noted scholar, teacher, and curator, King-Hammond has directed numerous exhibitions on African-American art and artists. 200 colour illustrations

Book excerpt: This stunning catalog to an important exhibition presents the work of some of the most acclaimed contemporary African artists, examining their relationship with various aspects of the African environment. The definition of a new African artist is as broad and diverse as the continent itself; and the stories these artists tell are at once uplifting and devastating, as are their nations' histories. This book focuses on the impact of the environment on contemporary African life and the use of found objects and appropriated materials in current African art. Artists from the oil-rich Niger Delta create images of the region's ecological destruction, impoverishment, and despair. Works from the Congo and South Africa depict abandoned mines and convict labour. Also included are El Anatsui's constructs made from bottle caps and wire and Romuald Hazoumé's clever masks, pieced together from discarded cans and obsolete telephone parts. Together these artists have created a multidimensional portrait of a continent with rich cultures, multiple challenges, and a creative and resourceful population of inspiring artists. AUTHOR Lisa Aronson is Associate Professor in the Department of Art History at Skidmore College. John S. Weber is Dayton Director of the Tang Museum and Professor of Liberal Studies at Skidmore College. ILLUSTRATIONS: 85 colour
