Enjoy a case study in contrasting cultures and styles of African Art between the Dogon of Mali and the Yoruba of Nigeria. The Dogon, living in the harsher world of the Western Sudan, create multi-functional 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, produce art which tends to be more purpose-created and based on lush oval forms. Led by Jean Borgatti, the Consulting Curator of Global Africa, First Peoples North America and Oceania at the Fitchburg Art Museum.
