Today and tomorrow are the last days to see Africa in the World: materials without end

Curated by Risham Majeed alongside students from her Exhibition Seminar class.

This exhibition presents original artifacts alongside several various reproductions of historical works of art. The premodern period is a long span of time that connects the ancient world to the end of the European Middle Ages (100 B.C.E. to 1500 C.E.). Long before the “voyages of discovery,” merchant sailors had mastered the seas and nomads had harnessed camels as “ships of the desert.” Through their specialized knowledge, these people enabled access to the desert and the sea connecting India, Africa, and Europe.
