About the presentation:
Join Erica P. Jones, senior curator of African arts and manager of curatorial affairs at the Fowler Museum at UCLA, and Carlee S. Forbes, associate curator of African and Oceanic art at the Baltimore Museum of Art, for a lecture on the research and making of “Belongings: Changing Hands and Shifting Meanings in African Arts,” a new exhibition that examines how historical African objects have accrued layered meanings as they moved through different hands, contexts and interpretations.
Following the lecture, Jones and Forbes will be joined by Glenn Wharton for a conversation on how curatorial and conservation practices intersect in reinterpreting museum collections, provenance and colonial legacies.
