New African Art Series: Learning to Look - Forms and Materials

Spend one Sunday afternoon each month learning the wonders of African Art. Jean Borgatti, Consulting Curator for African, Oceanic, and Native American Art at the Fitchburg Art Museum, will delve into a different aspect of African Art each month, including its variety of forms, the depth of its history, and how it became an important player in Western culture and across the globe. A reading list will be available for those who want to delve more deeply into any one topic. Jean Borgatti will also invite participants to an online workspace where she will post additional images, articles, and videoclips for anyone interested. The Fitchburg Art Museum will also provide a limited number of free passes as part of this series. For more information, email library programs coordinator Liz Shick at vhpl_programs@clamsnet.org.

December 8th, 2024 at 2:30 pm - Learning to Look: Forms and Materials. The African art most familiar in the West are carvings, but wall-painting, textiles, and body decoration are equally important.
