DIA: Galleries - African, Oceanic, And New World Cultures
The art of african, Oceanic, and New World Cultures pose a special challenge tothe museum visitor to see the collections as objects of visual delight,
http://www.dia.org/collections/aonwc/aonwcindex.html

Extractions: African, Oceanic, and New World Cultures T he name of the Department of African, Oceanic, and New World Cultures reflects the fact that art museums are thoroughly rooted in European traditions of art making and aesthetics. In the 19th century, art museums were conceived to house artistic productions derived from these "fine arts" traditions and to instruct the public about European "high culture." Objects made by African woodcarvers or Native American bead workers were completely excluded from many art museums in the past because they did not fit the European-based definitions of art. While this was not true of the DIA, whose collection includes important examples of these "non-western" cultures acquired early in its history, the art of these geographically and socially disparate cultures is still lumped together in one department. I n the late 20th century, the understanding of how "art" is defined has become a culturally relative issue, as each culture possesses its separate traditions of creativity and visual meaning. The objects displayed in the galleries of this department ask the visitor to leave behind any Eurocentric conceptions about "art" and try on a different culture's point of view. "Art" as customarily experienced in a museum is an object that is isolated and singled out for aesthetic contemplation. On the other hand, the Camel Saddle made by the Tuareg people of Saharan Africa would have been experienced by its owner as a useful piece of equipment, as well as a satisfyingly decorated one. The saddle was lavished with ornament because the transportation camels offered was fundamental to the Tuareg way of life as traders and organizers of caravans. When the saddle is displayed in an art museum, it is treated as if it were art in the European tradition. The object then has a foot in both worlds: the world of the Tuareg where camel saddles are lavishly decorated, and the world of the art museum, where special categories of objects function in the cultural role of "art."

Extractions: Joseph Orpen (1874) African Art Map of Southern Africa Southern African Rock Art For thousands of years, Khoisan-speaking San, popularly known as Bushmen , were the only inhabitants of southern Africa. These people hunted and gathered wild plants. There are known San rock art sites in South Africa, perhaps as many as in southern Africa. The highest concentrations of rock art are found at Tsodilo , Botswana, Brandberg and Twyfelfontein in Namibia , Drakensburg Mountains of Lesotho and South Africa, and the Matobo Hills (Matopos National Park) of Zimbabwe. Direct dating of these paintings is difficult. The oldest dates recorded are painted slabs or mobile art (see first photo) excavated by Eric Wendt in the

Caring For African Violets, G74-182-A
Offers a guide to home care. Includes potting, propagation, growing conditions, watering, diseases and pest problems.
http://ianrpubs.unl.edu/horticulture/g182.htm

Extractions: The African violet ( Saintpaulia ionantha ) is one of the most satisfactory flowering houseplants. It is a low, compact plant with attractive dark green, thick, hairy leaves. The violet-like flowers are borne in small panicles just above the foliage. Besides various shades of blue-violet, there are also pink, fuschia, and white cultivars (varieties). Newer violets include not only cultivars with single flowers, but also those with semi-double or double rows of petals. Bi-colored flowers and those with a contrasting border are popular. Trailing cultivars and miniatures are also available. Plants kept in good condition flower almost continuously. Potting and Propagation A soil mixture composed of about 2 parts fertile loam, 1 part leaf mold or peat, and 1 part sand or perlite is recommended for growing African violets. The soil must be porous to allow surplus water to pass through readily. Most violets are now grown in a pasteurized soilless mix. A good soilless mix is made up of 3 parts sphagnum peat moss, 2 parts vermiculite, and 1 part perlite, with some lime added to balance the acidity of the peat moss. Compost, good garden soil, or loam can be used for up to half of the total mix, with the other half being vermiculite and/or perlite. Such a soil mix is very porous. A good growing medium should contain 50 percent matter, 25 percent air, and 25 percent water.

Religions Of The World -- African
Background information and links.
http://members.aol.com/porchfour/religion/african.htm

Extractions: African and African-Derivative Religions are a large group of beliefs and practices based upon ancient indigenous faiths of sub-Saharan African peoples. Within the last 100 years in Africa (see Table of Statistics ) indigenous religion has declined under the influence of colonialism, Western acculturation and proselytizing by Islam and Christianity. In the African Diaspora (mainly in the Americas) African-derived belief systems are in a state of impressive growth. ithin just the last two years the amount of information made available through the Internet is also impressive. Some of the best information comes to us from Italy, Sweden and Brazil. We are no longer dependent upon reports from academia or encyclopedias. There are now numerous websites maintained by the faithful themselves and, while the quality and quantity of information varies enormously among them, one may now hear from practitioners their own statements of faith. In many, if not most, cases African spirituality has evolved in the Americas. Ancient practices brought westward by slaves became syncretized, more or less, with religious traditions of the slaves' masters. This syncretization is most noticeable in areas dominated by the Catholic faith and where the celebration of saints, votive offerings and other practices found parallels in ancient traditions.
