This course will look at a selection of regions, themes and historic moments in African art. It will begin with the questions: What is art?, What is African?, and what is a museum? The class will meet virtually during the scheduled course time on *Mondays for discussion (participation: speaking and in chat). Students can expect a weekly drop of digital content including two ~30 minute videos and supporting documents. This will serve as the Wednesday session.
