An overview of the Cleveland museum of art's exhibition:"Senufo: art and identity in West Africa"

The Wits City Institute will host Wits City Institute Visiting Research Fellow, Susan Gagliardi, from Emory University to present this special lecture.

The lecture will include a discussion on the subject of Gagliardi's next book, namely the seen and unseen dimensions of West African power association arts and Mapping Senufo, the collaborative born-digital mapping publication that she initiated and is currently developing.

Gagliardi holds a PhD from the University of California, Los Angeles, and her research interests include: historical and present-day arts of West Africa, with focus on arts sponsored by Senufo- and Mande-speaking communities; practices and theories of power and assemblage, of the seen and the unseen, of secrecy, and of masquerade; patronage; museums and display methods.
