Afro-Dit
Weavings and Wood: Introduction to Tribal Arts from Southeast Asia to West Africa
Some years ago I gave a short course (4 hours) with this title to a group of interested adults at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, in Richmond. Here is the text from which I worked, divided (for convenience) into the four lectures plus a list of reference material that I gave the students.
First hour: Introduction; African Textiles
Second Hour: African Masks and Sculpture
Third Hour: Textiles from Central Asia
Fourth hour: Textiles from Central Asia (cont'd); Mainland Southeast Asia
