The Aachron Newsletter: |
| A new forum for advanced research and writing on global African arts that investigates African and African Diaspora identities in the age of globalization. As an arena for rethinking African art history and interrogating the value of African art/cultural knowledge in the global economy and how that knowledge is transmitted, Critical Interventions is particularly interested in dissecting how such value is created, and the politics of the commodification of African artworks and of their reception. The journal inaugurates a formal discourse on the aesthetics, politics and economics of African cultural patrimony as it affects African ownership of the intellectual property rights of its indigenous systems of knowledge and cultural practices. Critical Interventions is the first journal to focus on a new African art history that speaks to 21st Century issues. Its inaugural edition, it will be launched at the 2007 Mbanefo Foundation Conference (“Interrogating African Modernity: Art, Cultural Politics and Global Identities,” University of California Santa Barbara, May 4-5, 2007. www.mbanefofoundation.org/conference.htm) | A series of one hundred monographs on modern and contemporary African artists over the next decade designed to address a persistent lack of appropriate educational resources on the artists profiled. Each monograph contains a critical analysis of the artist or context of practice and high quality illustrations of relevant artworks. The inaugural volume of five books is due in Fall 2008. |
An online magazine that provides information on global African arts, art collections, museum practices, exhibitions, artist initiatives, and the political and cultural issues that affect global African art practice. Its goal is to be an exhaustive source of valuable information on global African arts and issues that affect its production, reception and value. The Aachron Newsletter, as a general interest, jargon-free journalistic chronicle of global African arts, invites contributions from specialists and non-specialists alike. The inaugural issue premiers in Fall 2007. |
