Arts of Global Africa
Upon entering the Newark Museum's reinstallation of its Arts of Global Africa collection, visitors are immediately greeted with Yinka Shonibare's spectacular Lady Walking a Tightrope (2006; Fig. 1). The life-size, headless female figure balances precariously on a rope stretching diagonally across a corner space. Lady Walking a Tightrope is positioned high—above eye-level, as any tightrope walker would be—and captures the immediate attention and t…
Exhibition Reviews
“Contemporary Art/South Africa,” Yale's first of contemporary African art, showcased over thirty works produced in South Africa or by South Africans, including objects owned by Yale plus a range of artworks borrowed from museum and gallery collections nearby.

The Philani Project was initially formed as part of an ambitious, nationwide, antipoverty initiative, with the long-term goal of battling child malnutrition and poverty by training unemployed mothers to be artists.

All in the Family
This past Thanksgiving, my mother died. I spent the holiday taking plastic garbage bags of her clothing to the Salvation Army. I also went through her jewel-boxes, her drawers, her cedar chest. In doing this, I uncovered remnants of my mother's life, pieces of her that brought back memories. My sister and I sat on her bed, pulling necklaces out of a box, asking each other questions like: Do you remember when she used to wear this with that long b…
