Book Synopsis Authentic, Ex-centric by : Salah M. Hassan
Download or read book Authentic, Ex-centric written by Salah M. Hassan and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against the musty stereotypes and prejudices that still consider Africa a dark continent full of nameless, Third World nations always striving but never managing to catch up with the West, Authentic/Ex-Centric positions Africa as the source of many of the ideas associated with European modernism. From Cubism's radical abstraction to 70s performance art and its use of ritual, shamanism, and magic, the influence of African art has long been underap-preciated. Published in conjunction with an exhibition of the same name held to critical acclaim on the fringes of the 2001 Venice Biennale, Authentic/Ex-centric offers a glimpse of the ways in which African and African and African Diaspora artists have interpreted and translated the aesthetic and social experiences of post-colonial Africa into new idioms of artistic expression, and argues for their proper location in the broad narrative of global conceptualism. Including work by such artists as Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons, Willem Boshoff, Godfried Donkor, Rachid Koraichi, Berni Searle, and Yinka Shonibare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Culture plays a central role in the well-being of any society. This is especially true in postcolonial Africa, where rich traditional cultures collide with complex modern realities. Cultural development and the integration of culture into contemporary society is of primary importance not only for African prosperity, but also for the strengthening of civil society and of societal integration. This book focuses on the role of culture in the process of development as well as on strategies for ensuring the growth of indigenous African culture and the strengthening of cultural industries in the African context. The prospects for filmmaking, the performing arts, publishing, radio, museums, art, and traditional storytelling in Africa are creatively examined and explored by some of Africa's most creative cultural figures. This book combines thoughtful analysis of problems and a "state of the art" assessment of key cultural industries with practical suggestions for improvement and progress.
Book Synopsis Salah M. Hassan by : Salah M. Hassan
Download or read book Salah M. Hassan written by Salah M. Hassan and published by Hatje Cantz Verlag. This book was released on 2012-07-26 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Salah M. Hassan schlägt in seinem Text eine Neubetrachtung des afrikanischen Marxismus vor, mit der er gleichzeitig eine Befreiung Marx', eines für das 20. Jahrhundert einflussreichsten politischen Denkers, vom Eurozentrismus bezweckt. Während der Entkolonisierung und der Befreiungsbewegung in Afrika und anderen Teilen der Dritten Welt in der Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts, die mit den Anfängen der documenta zusammenfielen, wurde die Ideologie des Marxismus zur intellektuellen Leitkultur. Als Beispiele für die Innovationskraft und Kreativität des afrikanischen/schwarzen Marxismus, die in der gegenwärtigen Forschung nur wenig berücksichtigt werden, führt Hassan Texte zweier Schlüsselfiguren zusammen: die politische Verteidigungsrede By Virtue of Marxism, Your Honor (1956) von Abdel Khaliq Mahgoub (1927–1971), dem Gründer der Sudanesischen Kommunistischen Partei, der 1971 zusammen mit anderen führenden Mitgliedern der Partei hingerichtet wurde, sowie den Brief an Maurice Thorez (1956) von Aimé Césaire (1913–2008), dem martiniquinischen Philosophen, Dichter und Kritiker, in dem er die Gründe für seinen späteren Austritt aus der Kommunistischen Partei Frankreichs darlegt. Salah M. Hassan ist Goldwin Smith Professor, Direktor des Institute for Comparative Modernities sowie Professor der African and African Diaspora Art History an der Cornell University in Ithaca, New York; er ist Mitglied des Honorary Advisory Committee der dOCUMENTA (13).

Book Synopsis Art and Islamic Literacy Among the Hausa of Northern Nigeria by : Salah M. Hassan

This book was released on 1992 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking a perspective based on folk lore, this text is an ethnographic study of the tools, artifacts, and other expressions of the material culture of literacy as it is found in the clerics' diverse activities within the context of the Hausa society in northern Nigeria. This study fills a gap in African data by addressing how informational, magical, as well as aesthetic potentials of the written word have been adapted in local contexts. It explores the origins of the diverse roles and types of malams (represented primarily by malaman Qur'ani and malaman Ilmi). The history and origin of the current calligraphic styles adapted and developed by the Hausa malams are investigated as a guide to understanding calligraphic designs and writings on manuscripts, charms, amulets, Qur'anic boards, architectural decorations, and other artifacts.

Download or read book Ibrahim El-Salahi written by Lena Fritsch and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ibrahim El-Salahi is a pioneer of African and Arab Modernism and one of the most influential figures in Sudanese art today. His works of art draw from a vivid imagination rooted in the traditions of his homeland, which he fuses with inventive forms of calligraphy, abstraction and a profound knowledge of art history. This exhibition is the first solo exhibition of El-Salahi's works in Oxford. It presents early works on paper never before shown, as well as the distinctive multi-panel paintings, such as the lively Flamenco Dancers, 2012. It also features new work, such as meditative drawings that El-Salahi has made on envelopes and medicine packets when suffering from physical pain. The exhibition sets El-Salahi's works into dialogue with specially selected ancient Sudanese objects from the Ashmolean's collection. Examples of pottery, decorated with images of the people, plants and animals of the region, were chosen together with the artist, underlining how, in El-Salahi's words, 'the past is linked with the present'.--Ashmolean website.

Book Synopsis Okwui Enwezor and the Art of Curating by : Chika Okeke-Agulu

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This special issue is dedicated to the memory of Okwui Enwezor (1963-2019), the first African and Black curator and director of documenta11 (2002) and the 56th Venice Biennale (2015). The articles and personal tributes collected here recognize the profound impact left by the Nigerian art historian, curator, poet, and educator who transformed the curatorial present of global exhibitions and anticipated their decolonizing futures. Enwezor created political platforms and artistic manifestos that not only changed the form and function of global exhibitions, but also opened up new ways to align activism with aesthetic practices, performative displays, and curatorial initiatives. Contributors--art historians and critics, curators, and artists--address how Enwezor's approach to the exhibition as a "space of public discourse" intersects with theories of affect, indigeneity, race, queer studies, and feminism.
