Professor Cathy Gutierrez’s spring class, Religions of Africa, curated an exhibit titled “Modern Reflections on African Society.” On display through May 1 in the Babcock Lobby it provides fascinating insights into African masks and local poetry. The masks were crafted by the Dogon (in Mali), the Lwalwa people (in the Congo), and the Dan (in Liberia). Evocative poems by notable local poetess, Anne Spencer (1882-1975) are accompanied by striking photos of the Old City Cemetery (taken by Sally Toms ‘13). To learn more about Ms Spencer, click here.
