Through African Eyes
MAY 20, 2010 THURSDAY AT 3PM CT

 
 
For centuries, Westerners have created mostly negative images of the African continent and its inhabitants. But we rarely seem to be aware that during all that time, Africans have been looking back at us, producing their own depictions of Europeans. We talk to Nii Quarcoopome, curator of the Detroit Institute of Art's current exhibition, Through African Eyes: The European in African Art, 1500 to Present.

Guest
  • Nii Quarcoopome, head of the Department of Arica, Oceania and Indigenous Americas at the Detroit Institute of Art
  • Henry Drewal, Evjue-Bascom Professor of Art History at UW-Madison
