SUMMARY:Student Perspectives: Africa Here & Now: Contemporary Art & Identity
DESCRIPTION:
  The Students of Candace Keller's Contemporary 
 African Art Seminar Class along with the Kresge 
 Art Museum present Africa Here & Now: Contemporary 
 Art & Identity.\n
 \n
 This exhibition 
 presents a collection of African artworks from 
 various commissions around the local area, 
 as well as ones housed at the Kresge Art Museum.\n
 \n
 The 
 Contemporary Art period in Africa 
 is somewhat complex. The issue of identity is 
 present in many artworks created during this 
 ongoing period. Identity is important in considering 
 contemporary African Art because its 
 definitions are ambiguous at best. For years, 
 African artists have been trying to find an 
 aesthetic that fits with their own cultural 
 ideals without adhering to an "African" Stereotype. 
 This show will attempt to uncover the 
 motivations and complexities African identities 
 and the works produced by them. Artists featured 
 in this exhibit demonstrate the diversity 
 and complexity that make up contemporary 
 African art and identity. \n\n
