The exhibition represents the identity of the Teel collection as much as it represents the African identity of the sculptures. It is important to acknowledge that African art is affected by the context in which it is exhibited. The exhibition wants to reclaim the identity of African art that has been neglected in the context of aestheticized museum exhibitions in order to allow the objects to be recognized for their cultural and museological identities. Gallery Talks Gallery talks are free with the price of admission. Sunday, January 12 with Suzanne Blier, professor of African art and architecture, co-curator of the exhibition.
