Sinopse"Inscribing Meaning" explores the relationships between African art and the communicative powers of language, graphic systems and the written word. Objects dating from ancient times to the present illustrate how African artists have used diverse forms of letters, words and symbols, in addition to their meanings, to create beautiful, empowered works of art. Inscribing Meaning recognizes that Africa’s long engagement with written and graphic systems is part of the broader, global history of writing and literacy. The works featured reveal the richness of Africa’s artistic traditions and emphasize that objects are aesthetically powerful communicators of history, knowledge, identity and values.
