The Artist in the Archive: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Kader Attia in the Herskovits Library

Northwestern University Library

The scope of Northwestern’s renowned Herskovits library is as wide and diverse as the continent of Africa itself. Join its curator, Esmeralda Kale for a look at objects in the collection that inspired Kader Attia’s research. Members of AfriSem, a consortium of graduate students focused on African Studies, will also explore  intertwined  areas  of  Attia’s  research—architecture,  psychopathology,  and  prosthetics—taking materials from the Library as a point of departure.
