Museum of the African Diaspora |
On View Africa Continuum: Sacred Ceremonies and Rituals (March 19, 2010 – August 28, 2010) African Continuum: Sacred Ceremonies and Rituals is featured in MoAD’s special exhibitions gallery and includes 39 color and black and white photographs by Bryan Wiley, a highly regarded Bay area photo historian who has traveled extensively throughout the Atlantic Black Diaspora documenting altars and ritual practices by African descendants in Brazil, Haiti, Cuba, South Carolina, and New Orleans. Wiley has exhibited his photographs in traditional and nontraditional venues in the U.S. and abroad and has been the photographer of record for several important documentary and feature films. The exhibition also features contemporary examples of Afro-Atlantic altars that are derived from altar worship among the Akan, Bakongo, Fon, Ejagham, Mande and Yoruba of West and Central Africa. With the altars, which often include color coded fabrics, food, photographs, musical instruments, symbolic figurative sculpture, tools and candles related to specific deities, the exhibition and the entire museum become sacred spaces and focal points of worship. African Continuum enriches, enlightens, challenges and educates visitors of all ages and cultural backgrounds through Wiley’s extraordinary photographs, the sacred altars created by local practitioners and MoAD’s engaging schedule of interpretive and public programs.
