Organised by Imperial College London
Whether you have studied African art, or general art history, before or not, if you are interested in some of the key aspects of African art history this course is for you. Concentrating on modern and contemporary African art the course will challenge the assumption made so often by art historians and gallery curators that African art belongs under the catergories of folk art or so-called 'tribal' art, or is somehow unchanging and traditional. With this course we will try to break out of those clichés to discover the exciting history, and sheer diversity and vibrancy, of modern and contemporary art in Africa.
The course is taught in an open and inclusive way, so your thoughts, experiences and opinions will be welcome as part of the discussion.
The course is aimed at complete beginners, and no previous qualification or knowledge of art or art history is necessary.
Please register before by Thursday 20th the latest.
