TODAY
Tuesday 22nd April

Will Rea
 
'Masquerade and modernity: performing the past in the present'
 
(Dept of Fine Art, University of Leeds)
 
5pm Room B2
 
Will researches the art history of Africa and has interests more generally in material culture, sculpture (widely defined) and theories of the object, particularly the applicability of anthropological models to art history.  His work also explores the modernities, religions and cultural heritage of Africa. His latest project is on the Ibadan renaissance of the 1960s, a project that aims to draw the artistic, literary and historical studies produced in the town of Ibadan in the 1960s into a wider relationship with the immediate postcolonial context of the town.
