  Come to Your Senses! — Sensiotics and Understandings of Arts and Culture in Africa and Beyond

  4:30 PM ET

  Sponsored by:

  History of Arts and Architecture

  This multimedia and multisensorial presentation is in the African and African Diaspora tradition of “call and response” — with images, sounds, film, and movement. We will consider Sensiotics, an approach that centers the crucial importance of the senses, our body-minds and sense-abilities, in our experiences with arts, cultures, and histories. While I focus on the arts of Yoru`ba´-speaking people of West Africa, I believe Sensiotics has global implications. FREE
