(Do note that planning for the Summit is an ongoing process and information in this briefing / compilation might become obsolete if you notice obvious mistakes please notify through msd@rio10.dk 1. At the national level 7. Miscellaneous All governments have been asked to prepare and present a national assessment report on the Rio process. But who wrote it? And did they consult with civil society? You live and breathe what they assessed; you need to take a critical view of it. Negotiators cannot make the right decisions on how to fix things if they do not even know what the real problems are. If the national report does not reflect reality, then you may have to work with other civil society or major group representatives to make your own assessment. It is too late to start the work on a full shadow report, but a short paper with comments on the official report can do the job and has a good chance of being picked up by your national media. A group of NGOs have been making their own shadow reports during the last few months, and their presentation during the WSSD PrepCom in Bali will be published in time for the Summit.

Extractions: The art of Africa is a visible expression of the invisible. It combines the natural and the abstract into transcendental forms that transmit communal history, laws, moral codes and beliefs from one generation to another. There is no "art for art's sake." It is an integral part of daily life rooted in ancestral spiritual worship, funeral rites, initiation ceremonies, celebratory dance and the sacred rituals of secret societies. The African artist makes something for a particular purpose. The function of the work is paramount; in fact, some are discarded after one use if the function has been fulfilled. The African art best known in the west and best represented in the Museum began to be collected in the 19th century in the Sub-Sahara just before the culture and ethno geography of Africa began to be frozen in place by colonial empires.

Extractions: (pp 9-19; references given by Spring are fully cited in the bibliography This book is primarily intended as a celebration of African artistry and ingenuity. It also attempts to show the way in which arms and armour are incorporated into the complex material systems which express the structure of non-industrialised societies. The book takes as its subject a particular category of artefact which may not conform to Western preconceptions of what constitutes African art, but this should not be allowed to detract from our appreciation. Furthermore, the creativity which has gone into the production of African arms and armour must not be obscured by the fact that these artefacts are often used in a context which attests to man's most negative and destructive cultural proclivity. At the risk of playing devil's advocate, I believe that to underrate the significance of these artefacts within the societies which produced them would be to overlook a whole range of human endeavour and activity. Weapons and Society It is difficult both to detect and to analyse the concept of aesthetic appreciation in societies which do not appear to have a perception of 'art' as we in the West understand it. However, there is some evidence to suggest that there is a considerable difference between the type of object which might be considered of aesthetic significance in an African as opposed to a Western context. As Vaughan (1973) has pointed out, the Marghi of Northern Nigeria 'do not consider rock paintings or calabash decorations fitting topics for artistic activity, while they do view weapons as products which are worthy of an aesthetic appreciation'.

Extractions: This is an excellent example of a figurative staff made for a Lobi male elder living in Burkina Faso. The carving shows a wide-eyed, nude, young female at the top and, below her, a twisting serpent, a symbol of protection in most traditional African cultures. The curved grip, recalling an umbrella handle, shows this stick has some colonial European influence. In excellent condition, it measures 35"L. Circa 1950. The ovoid-shaped hat, made of the owner's hair clippings mixed with a resinous, organic binder pasted onto a textile, then carefully covered with brass sheeting, showing a fine, softly worn patina overall. Although worn by a male of mature age, the top of this headpiece recalls the shape of female genitalia. From the Lotuxo people of Sudan, Africa. Mid 20th century and in very fine condition. 10"L x 7.50"W.

At Old Oyo, there was a custom of commissioning a carved, though sylized, portrait of a new king to serve as his surrogate at certain public and private ceremonies. The tradition has survived at present-day Oyo, (see below at n. 161 and Fig. 26). Elsewhere in Africa, among the Kuba of Zaire, it was the practice in the past to make a stylized portrait (ndop) of a new king at the beginning of his reign, which then served as his surrogate on certain occasions. This portrait was also involved in the ritual transfer of royal power from a deceased king to his successor. See Jan Vansina, "Ndop: Royal Statues among the Kuba," in African Art and Leadership, ed. Douglas Fraser and Herbert M. Cole (Madison, Wis.: University of Wisconsin Press, 1972), 41-55; and Monni Adams, "18th Century Kuba King Figures," African Arts 21, no. 3 (1988): 32-38, 88.

In and Out of Focus Images from Central Africa, 1885-1960 National Museum of African Art Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. December 6, 2002-March 16, 2003 "In and Out of Focus" reminded us that photography simultaneously brings us both closer to and further from reality. While many exhibitions use photographs as uncontested "documents," "In and Out of Focus" looked at photographs in their own right, as objects originating within specific historical, political, and cultural contexts. It presented one of photography's most complicated stories, Central Africa during the colonial era. The exhibition highlighted collections at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of African Art and the NMAfA's Eliot Elisofon Photographic Archive, with additional photographs from several private collections in Belgium. It was curated by Christraud Geary, a pioneer in the field of African photography.

Extractions: Natale Labia Museum friends of the national gallery The 'new look' Gallery Shop was opened by Myke Carroll, Managing and Creative Director of McCann Erickson (Cape), on the evening of 9 April. As those Friends who were present will know, the function was an extremely successful and enjoyable occasion, attended by over a hundred people. Myke Carroll posed the question in his speech, "What makes a piece of beadwork 'art' in one room and 'on sale' in the next?" This sentence encapsulates the attraction and success of museum shops throughout the world. People who have enjoyed looking at works of art often want to have some permanent record of the object which interested or entranced them. If they are acquisitive, they may wish to 'own' the art work, and a reproduction of it may suffice. I find the SANG Shop an exciting and enticing one to visit. It is definitely African in its vibrant and colourful resonances. Wares from not only South Africa, but also from neighbouring African countries, and even further afield are for sale here. There are the more traditional South African objects, such as beautiful baskets and pots from Kwazulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape. There is also a large range of more innovative things. I particularly like the interesting compact disk racks made from indigenous wood. These have the added advantage of being environmentally friendly, as only wood which has already been cut, is used. There is also an unusual rainstick which, when inverted, produces a soft swishing sound from the movement of tiny beads inside the stick. I like the whimsical quality of some objects, such as the beach buggy, modelled in clay, a local prod-uct, and the imported fridge magnets.

Formerly called Zaire, the Democratic Republic of the Congo has had a volatile history marked by colonialists and tyrants trying to exploit the territory's vast resources. The Congalese - from the capitalists operating the copper and diamond mines to the hunting-and-gathering Pygmy people of the Ituri forests - cling to what they know: their strong extended families, resourcefulness and savvy, religion, and even some tribal superstition.

Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. Speaker, without these people my Department cannot make any headway and the implementation of the People' Contract starts with them. I stand here today indeed humbled by the great responsibility the people of the Western Cape have placed on our shoulders. I took this position knowing very well that, the people of this province are expecting a lot from my party. I took this position mindful of the fact that; the people of this Province for the past 10 years of our young democracy have been marginalised and discriminated against. The Western Cape was treated like an island in South Africa by the previous Government. It is through this venture that, at the Cabinet Lekgotla, the Premier and our executive felt that we need to bring unity amongst the people of this Province. We need to make everyone feel at home. In this regard, we need to form partnerships with everybody, and all spheres of Government, and truly make the Western Cape a 'HOME for ALL'.
