Description

This presentation by Henry J. Drewal, Evjue-Bascom Emeritus Professor in African Art, will be a multimedia and multisensorial performance in the African and African Diaspora tradition of “Call and Response.” With images, sounds, film, and movement, we will consider Sensiotics, an approach that centers the crucial importance of the senses, our body-minds, and sense-abilities in understandings of the arts, cultures, and histories. The talk has global implications.
