At the Fowler Museum, continued
This exhibition is a first major attempt to present
writing and graphic systems that originated in Africa,
some more than 4000 years ago. With the Western focus
on alphabets as the major basis of literacy, many
ancient African graphic systems have been overlooked
or neglected in cultural and art historical research.
This collaborative exhibition, developed by the
National Museum of African Art's curator, Dr.
Christine Mullen Kreamer, and the chief curator at the
Fowler Museum, Dr. Mary Nooter Roberts, opened
originally at the National Museum of African Art in
Washington, DC, in May, 2007 through August, 2007.
