The Medford Public Library continues its second Sunday series of online lectures meant as an introduction to African Art, its variety of forms, the depth of its history, and how it became an important player first in Western culture and continues to be important in a global world. Today’s session is “Art in Cultural Context: Contrasting Cultures – Contrasting Styles – The Dogon of Mali and the Yoruba of Nigeria.” The Dogon, living in the harsher world of the Western Sudan, create multifunctional sculpture in a style based on cubes and angles; the Yoruba, with a very large and diverse population, live in more tropical zones in Southern Nigeria and the Benin Republic. Their art tends to be more purpose-created and based on lush oval forms. Register using the link on the library’s new online calendar.
