Check out the exhibit at the Detroit Institute of Arts: through African Eyes. Read the Museum's introduction to the exhibit...
One of the concepts the exhibit brings about is how one culture represents a culture deemed as "other".
Pick out Three images from your text that show how Africans portrayed a culture deemed as "OTHER" to them. Explain how they portrayed this OTHER ... wishful longing, criticism, praise, hatred, etc.
Pick out THREE images of WESTERN CULTURES portraying Africans as OTHERS. How are they portraying the OTHER...fascination, disgust, etc.
The DIA has an EXTENSIVE collection of African Art you should peruse to remind yourself of what we looked at first semester.
Remember...these review items are suggestions...they will be class discussions...some topics you may need to refresh yourself on more than others.
