New African Art Series: Likeness and Beyond: Portraiture in Iconic African Art

Spend one Sunday afternoon each month learning the wonders of African Art. Jean Borgatti, Consulting Curator for African, Oceanic, and Native American Art at the Fitchburg Art Museum, will delve into a different aspect of African Art each month, including its variety of forms, the depth of its history, and how it became an important player in Western culture and across the globe. A reading list will be available for those who want to delve more deeply into any one topic. Jean Borgatti will also invite participants to an online workspace where she will post additional images, articles, and videoclips for anyone interested. The Fitchburg Art Museum will also provide a limited number of free passes as part of this series. For more information, email library programs coordinator Liz Shick at vhpl_programs@clamsnet.org.

April 13th, 2025 at 2:30 pm - Likeness and Beyond: Portraiture in Iconic African Art. African ‘traditional’ portraits take many forms, from those based on likeness to the highly symbolic.
