An exhibition of African art, "Masks, Music and Motion: Community Healing Among the Yoruba of West Africa," opens in the Washington State University Vancouver Library, Monday, Jan. 14.
The exhibit features Yoruba sculpture, masks, clothing and photography from the private collection of Mary L. Johnston of Florence, Ore. Some of the objects were previously exhibited in the University of Oregon's Museum of Art in 1999.
Students in the WSU Vancouver Honors Program studying art and cultural aspects of African societies with professor of history Candice Goucher helped coordinate the project. For the exhibit, students wrote and designed a four-page insert to the student newspaper, The VanCougar, and worked with assistant professor of psychology Steve Lakatos on an audio-visual CD-ROM presentation for the exhibit.
Sponsors include the WSU Honors College, WSU College of Liberal Arts, the WSU Vancouver Diversity Task Force and the Associated Students of WSU Vancouver.
The exhibit is free and open to the public.
