AFRICA CULTURE 2000 CONFERENCE The University of Liverpool, UK August 18-21, 2000 Africa 2000 - the context Despite this 'gloomy' analysis, the African art scene is thriving. There has been the upsurge of various African art forms such as music, literature, film, art and design. This invigorating cultural scene has appealed to both the intellectual 'high brow' and the 'popular culture' audiences. African art forms have gained recognition and acceptance worldwide, from Latin American salsa music, through genres of European pop, to current contemporary art and media offerings such as the annual International film festival in Burkino Faso in recent times. African orientated artists, such as Jean Claude Basquiat, and Chris Ofili have achieved international acclaim for their work, whilst the Congolese artist, Tshibumba Kanda-Matulu, is famous internationally for his work on colonialism. The Notting Hill Carnival in London, of Afro-Caribbean origin, has substantial African and African-inspired contributions to the carnival through song, food and dance. The same is true of the carnival extravaganzas in Rio de Janeiro, Trinidad and elsewhere. African culture also has a significant influence on the development of cultural forms and styles that informs street cultures and youth styles, such as 'rap' and street fashion across the globe. This upsurge in African derived cultural creativity needs to be considered critically. Who has ultimate economic and political control of the African cultural market place? Who determines what African cultural forms and styles are relevant and accepted at international levels? Has the viewing of African art forms and culture changed from its perceived 'exotic' status at the beginning of the 20th century? Most importantly how relevant is art and culture to African personal perceptions and life in the new millennium?

Instead I chose to go to Bankass, which is one of the bridgehead towns for the Dogon county.

Soon after it was established in 1932 it witnessed the rise of fascism. And as one of the regime's tools for promoting Italian culture, through the war years festival screenings were exclusive to Italian and German films. Its grand prix was even christened the Mussolini Award. From 1943 to 1946 the festival was discontinued, and when it reemerged its return was incorporated into the nation-wide celebration of the end of fascism. This year Venice coincides with the memory of 11 September and a remarkable Special Event screening marked the occasion. Directed by 11 filmmakers from around the world, 11 September is a rich and varied offering that generated debate even prior to being screened. Consisting of 11 mini features of 11 minutes and 9 seconds' duration each by Samira Makhmalbaf (Iran), Claude Lelouch (France), Youssef Chahine (Egypt), Danis Tanovic (Bosnia), Idrissa Ouedraogo (Burkino Faso), Ken Loach (Britain), Alejandero Gonzalez Inarritu (Mexico), Amos Gitai (Israel), Mira Nair (India), Sean Penn (USA), Sohei Imamura (Japan), respectively the film services various and often glaringly contradictory viewpoints ranging from mournful recall of the World Trade Center explosions to sympathy with those crushed by the American military machine. While not constituting a significant development for the filmmakers involved indeed at times they seem to be treading well worn territory the films reflect political perspectives in the process of translating cinematically.

Among the other premieres in this year's program are the thriller ``Asunder,'' directed by Tim Reid and starring Blair Underwood, Michael Beach and Debbie Morgan; the urban classroom drama ``Detention''; the comedy ``Melting Pot,'' with CCH Pounder, Paul Rodriguez and Cliff Robertson, in which race figures heavily during a civic election; actor Richard L.

Faculty from various UMKC departments, including Communication Studies, English, and Anthropology of the College of Arts and Sciences, and the School of Education, collaborate with the UMKC Art and Art History Department and the Belger to bring the first major exhibit of African art in the area outside of a museum setting in years. The exhibit is arranged by distinctive cultural areas, including art from the countries of Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cameroon, Nigeria, Ghana, the Ivory Coast, Tanzania, Liberia, Burkino Faso, Mali and Sierra Leone. Each unique work contains "information about aesthetic preferences, history, religious values, political organization and technological skills," curator Wahlman writes. Many of the pieces throughout the exhibit tie into ancestral power over the living and can be seen in the ritualistic masks, figures and sculptures from the collections of David Gelbard of New York City and Dr. Raymond Lake of Kansas City. The textile pieces, from the collection of Maude and James Wahlman, were also a vital aspect to "private ceremonial masking traditions, public dance displays, harvest celebrations and funerary traditions, and are an indication of style in everyday life," Wahlman writes.

AFRICAN CULTURAL RESOURCES THE ARTS - FILM, LITERATURE, MUSIC, DANCE, MUSEUMS This section reflects African expression. In Africa, the interweaving of art and daily life is well documented. Cultural expressions thus include the plastic and performance arts, but also culinary and linguistic arts as well. A wide range of cultural resources pertaining to Africa have found their way to the American public. Many museums have long valued the rich artistic traditions of Africa in sculpture, weaving, pottery, architecture and other creative areas, and have become passionate promoters of new artists from the continent. Language traditions, culinary traditions, and traditional ways of thought also qualify as cultural representations. Indeed, culture is a very broad canvas on which many different types of expressions can merge.

Some On a spiritual and global level, readers would be hard-pressed to find a better book on family values than Welcoming Spirit Home . Author Sobonfu Some, whose name means "keeper of rituals," narrates this collection of stories and traditions from her native tribethe Dagara of Burkino Faso, Africa. Children are considered the soul of each village, according to the Dagara people, and as a result the tribe has numerous rituals that celebrate the arrival and raising of young ones. Page by page, Some explains these many exotic and loving ritualsfrom helping grandparents and babies bond to activities that support a "child's sense of worth." Even a woman's conception is cause for enormous community pride. Elders bathe the mother-to-be, dress her up, and then "introduce her and the incoming soul to the community." Everyone kisses her belly and sings songs of welcoming and joy. The tribe's simplistic lifestyle and genuine happiness seem to stem from its strong connection to the earth as well as the honoring of all tribal peopleeven the unborn.

Exeter Crown Court had been told that Hibiekoun Hien, 54, became disorientated after he moved from a village in Burkina Faso, where he had spent his entire life, to Linda MacDonald’s semi-detached home in Buckfastleigh, South Devon. He feared that his new wife planned to sell him to pay for a new car. Hien, who had admitted manslaughter last month, appeared for sentencing yesterday and was jailed for five years by Mr Justice Steel. He was a highly regarded spiritual healer in his own country and came to Britain unable to speak a word of English. Miss MacDonald, 53, an alternative therapist, was unable to speak his language, Djoula. The court was told that he spent seven weeks in Britain before trying to escape back to Africa, but he got lost before he could reach the airport.

39. Museum Of Ethnology, Vienna: Africa Specimens of material culture document regal monarchic traditions like Benin of exploratory fieldwork in burkino faso forms the nucleus of this addenda. http://www.ethno-museum.ac.at/en/collections/africa/africa-i.html

Africa south of the Sahara The Africa Department with an inventory of c. 37.000 objects comprises the most extensive collection of the house. About one half of the present stock reached the museum before 1927. The ethnographic exhibits cover Africa from the southern rim of the Sahara to the southern tip of the continent, from Christian Ethiopia in the east to Islamic Mauretania and Senegal in the west; the offshore island of Madagascar is also represented in the collection. Specimens of material culture document regal monarchic traditions like Benin, Kamerun or Kaffa down to hunters and gatherers such as the pigmies in the central African rain forest and the San in the South African Kalahari. The old valuable stock is now to be supplemented by focussing on present-day developments in popular African culture and art. Austrian research work in Africa will also be documented by including objects collected on such occasions. Valuable antiques are the Afro-Portuguese ivory carvings which date from Archduke Ferdinand II of Tyrol's "art cabinet" at Ambras Castle and which constitute the most ancient pieces of the collection. The Museum owns three saltcellars, carved horns and several 15th and 16th century spoons, performed in a very fragile technique. The chalice-like lidded vessels were used as decorative saltcellars at the Renaissance courts in Europe. Manufactured in Africa as commission pieces they reflect European models. The difference lies in figurative additions, often based on European themes with biblical and heraldic motives.

Overview - part 2 / part 1 Go to: Shebeens Clubs Bat Centre Contents page (continued) And there's lots more. Techno-raves and acid-house music have found their own variations in local culture. Musicians from throughout Africa perform in nightclubs like La Frontiere in Hillbrow, Johannesburg - in fact, in nightclubs dotted throughout the city. On offer is an exotic, heady blend of music. Search it out - it's among the best examples of popular culture. And you could catch a famous pop figures like The Rolling Stones or Michael Jackson on their African adventure. South Africa, is, in a sense, a melting pot: there are cultural influences here, mutating and in flux, from Britain, the United States, Europe, from China and the East, all combining with cultures created by local history. For spectacle, there's the familiar Boswell Wilkie circus with acrobats, animals and oh-so-local clowns whose slapstick pokes fun at us. We could be in the middle of Europe. Then there's the Coon Carnival (yes, that word's still used, but it's lost its racial connotations) in Cape Town on the day after New Year, a colourful, brightly-costumed Mardi Gras of competing bands, as South African as bobotie or vetkoek. Food is another manifestation of popular culture. It ranges from sumptuous traditional Cape cooking inherited from the early white settlers, to traditional boerekos meaty farm fare to bunny chow (a hollowed-out half-loaf of bread stuffed with curries) to pap and wors, the maize porridge/spicy sausage combination that's almost a national emblem. But for popular culinary culture you'll have to tour the city streets where you'll find everything from sheep's head, trotters and chicken feet cooked on the pavement while you wait to Italian pizzas and American-style hamburgers for sale.
