Art and Life in Africa CD-ROM Description

The Art and Life in Africa program is an interactive CD-ROM that recontextualizes African art in the cycle of life. Using text, objects, field photos, video and music, the program explores the way Africans make and use art at important events throughout their lives to solve problems, overcome adversity, and meet the unique challenges of life in an African environment. Discussions include topics such as "Key Moments in Life," "Art and Human Abundance," "Art and Education," "The Arts of Governance and Social Order," "Death and the Ancestors," and "The Changing Face of African Art," among others.

The CD includes over 10,000 images of 600 objects and 750 field photographs; 107 ethnographies; 27 ethnographic maps; 1400 entries in a bibliographic database; 11 chapters; 36 essays; video and music clips. Features include a fully searchable Index, and a Slide Show Maker for creating custom presentations.

Funding provided by grants from the Fund for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education (FIPSE), the National Endowment for the Humanities, University of Iowa Museum of Art and the Project for the Advanced Study of Art and Life in Africa (PASALA).
