This weekend's highlights:
SATURDAY
SIT: Contemporary & Traditional Seating
Seating from Tanzania, the Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria & the Congo is presented at this exhibition exploring the notion of seats of power in traditional African societies. It also challenges the manner in which these ideas push Western perceptions of social capital and class. It also shows the influences of colonial contact on modern African seating and of traditional African seating on Western crafts. Owner/Curator CCH Pounder will also be offering one-of-a-kind pieces for sale from her famous Blue Boxes.
