Presidential Notes
by
Robert Soppelsa, ACASA President






August/September, 2001
First, I want to thank the membership of ACASA for
the honor of serving the organization as a board
member and president. Next, I want to thank my
three predecessors in this office: dele jegede, Polly
Nooter Roberts and Martha Anderson, for providing
such splendid models of presidential behavior. As I
prepared to write these comments, I read notes they
had written during their presidencies. I can never
hope to match dele's good humor and poetically
elegant prose, Polly's enthusiasm, or Martha's
efficiency and thoroughness. However, I promise all
of you that I will do my best for the organization
during the next year. Having survived the transfer to
status as an independent tax-free corporation, our
first meeting outside the continental U.S., and the
establishment of an endowment for ACASA, we are
ready to face the challenges of the new millennium.
Next, I want to welcome ACASA's new board
members: Elisabeth Cameron, Joanne Eicher (return-
ing to the board for a second term), Robin Poynor,
Enid Schildkrout and Christopher Steiner. I look
forward to working with all of these fine people
during the coming year, and with returning board
members Martha Anderson, Michael Connor,
Rebecca Green and Babatunde Lawal
This information was already published in the last
newsletter, but it bears repeating: the entire organiza-

tion owes a debt of gratitude to Rebecca Green, our
current treasurer, for her hard work in establishing
ACASA as an independent not-for-profit corporation
(aka a 501C3). Anyone familiar with government red
tape will know that Rebecca spent many hours
negotiating that labyrinth of regulations and forms,
from which we will benefit in years to come. Others
who deserve our profound thanks are the members
of the committee who organized the Twelfth Trien-
nial Symposium on African Art this past April: Eli
Bentor, the program chair; Martha Anderson, our
past president; and especially Robert Nicholls, our
person on the ground at the University of St. Tho-
mas, who worked tirelessly, organizing entertain-
ments and raising funds to guarantee the success of
the event. Without his help the event would never
have been such a success. It's good to know there are
people like Robert out there, who are little-known in
the organization but interested in improving it and
helping it grow. Though our membership and focus
have always been international, ACASA has been
dominated from the start by its members who live
and work in the continental United States. Robert's
enthusiasm and energy should be taken as evidence
of the possibilities awaiting ACASA out there in the
larger world: the meetings in St. Thomas provided all
who attended with new ideas, exciting new experi-
ences (particularly the events of St. Thomas's Carni-
val, but many also profited from the availability of
the island's beaches, aquatic sports, duty-free shop-
ping and parks). Those of us whose research doesn't
usually take us into the cultures of the African-
American diaspora were thrilled with what we saw
and experienced in St. Thomas, and I'm sure that our
teaching will reflect these experiences. I for one will
never forget the magnificent new-world Mamy Wata
wearing a hot pink, skin-tight spangled outfit and
carrying an enormous albino python, who posed so
seductively for many of our cameras. The pounding
rhythms of the tin drum bands reverberating in my
whole body were also unforgettable. The first Trien-
nial outside the continental US was a success in one
area that had been of concern, considering the
increased cost of a distant venue. We estimate that 30
graduate students attended this meeting--a good
number, considering the distance they had to travel
and the expense of travel to St. Thomas. There had
also been some worry that panels would not be well
attended, as everyone would be at the beach the
whole time. Having sat in numerous crowded
sessions myself, I can personally attest that this
feared by-product of a tropical venue never material-
ized.
The conference itself was interesting in many ways.
Outreach day, devoted to discussions with teachers
from the Virgin Islands, and Museum day, dedicated


to discussions with Virgin Islands Museum person-
nel, were both successful events, well attended and
receiving high marks from participants. The panels
were chock full of new information and exciting
visuals. I particularly remember a paper on Niger
delta masquerades, by Martha Anderson (as if she
didn't have enough to do, working as hard as she did
on organizing and raising funds for the conference
and the organization) that was accompanied by
spectacular slides. I guess the days are finally over
when it was commonly stated that masquerade arts
in Africa were dying out. They are changing, but the
changes are exciting and informative. All in all, the
Twelfth Triennial Symposium on African Arts was a
great and memorable success.
During our meetings At the ASA convention in
Houston this November, we will have several serious
issues to confront: our dues structure and member-
ship recruitment policies need study and revision.
Our bylaws are badly in need of updating. As of the
end of 2001, the Smithsonian's African Art library at
NMAfA will no longer be able to subsidize the
mailing of ACASA's newsletter to overseas members
as a pro bono service to the organization, and I think
we are all agreed that this is an important service we
provide to our colleagues, particularly in Africa. We
need to designate a venue for the Thirteenth Trien-
nial Symposium on African Art, to take place in 2004.
Fund-raising for the ACASA endowment must
continue, etc. There is much to do. I look forward to
meeting with many of you in Houston and getting
down to business.

Minutes of ACASA Board Meeting
April 26,2001
Frenchman's Reef Marriott Hotel, St. Thomas, USVI.
submitted, 5/23/01 by Robert T. Soppelsa
The meeting was called to order at 12:45 p.m.
Treasurer's fund drive report:
The fund has increased by $300.00 since her last report. The
organization has approximately $70,000.00 in its accounts as on
Monday of this week.
Discussion: expenditures for stipends, expenses for the sympo-
sium brochure and remuneration to the designer of the brochure,
who didn't submit a bill for services. It was decided to offer
$300.00 apiece to the two Nigerians who made it to the conference,
for their extraordinary expenses. The organization's nonprofit
status has been confirmed by the US government, for a probation-
ary period of five years (this is standard IRS procedure). The
treasurer reported that fund-raising efforts this year were very
successful.





Reports on Outreach Day:
Reports of its success are apparently mixed.
Discussion: should it be continued and made a regular part of the
Triennial? General agreement that it is an important enhancement
of the event, and should be considered for future Triennials.

Museum Day:
Museum day is recommended to continue as a regular part of each
Triennial.

President's comment (M. Anderson):
All committee chairs must file reports of their committee activities
for the archives.

Book Award committee:
4 finalists have been determined; 2 awards will be given at the
banquet.

Leadership awards:
Herbert Cole and John Picton will receive the Leadership Award.
Richard Long will be given a special award as one of the founders
of the Triennial in 1968.

Book/Media Display:
Numerous books and tapes have been sent by authors and
publishers, all to be donated to the UVI library after the sympo-
sium. Display is in one of the rooms opposite the registration
tables.

Newsletter Editor.
Janet Stanley reports that after this year she will no longer be able
to mail newsletters to international addresses, subsidized by the
Smithsonian. All agreed that it is an important service and
outreach to colleagues in Africa. Possible other sources of funding
for this expense were discussed. There was also some discussion of
partial conversion of the newsletter to electronic distribution.

Archives:
There is still no definite plan for what to do about establishing an
archive for ACASA. A venue and archivist will have to be located
in the near future.

Extra Board Meeting:
We will have an extra board meeting at noon on Friday to discuss
a possible venue for the next Triennial. Cost factors will have to be
included in the discussion.

Banquet:
The cookies-and-punch reception cost more than $2,000.00. This
leaves $1,000.00 for banquet-related expenses, which will go to the
setup of a cash bar at the banquet.


Minutes of ACASA Board Meriting
April 29, 2000
St. Thomas

Martha Anderson presided.
Attending: Michael Conner, Rebecca Green, Robert Soppelsa,
Elisabeth Cameron, Joanne Eicher, Robin Poynor, Enid
Schildkrout, Polly Nooter Roberts
Absent: Chris Steiner

Airline Report:
Anderson updated the board on issues surrounding airline tickets
promised for ACASA. American Airlines had said there would be
no problem to issue free tickets prior to the conference, but they
later claimed it was impossible to issue them until after the
conference was over. British Airways also did not honor their
statement that they'd give a special price. Several suggestions
were made as to how to use the tickets that will be issued.


Election of new officers


President: Robert Soppelsa
President Pro-Tem: Michael Conner
Secretary/Treasurer: Rebecca Green
Newsletter Editor: Elisabeth Cameron

Newsletter
There was some discussion of the possibility of producing an
online electronic version of the newsletter with the possibility of a
password being provided to members on their payment of dues.

Secretary Archivist & Archive
A new position of secretary archivist has been added. Traditionally
such tasks were carried out by the president and the secretary
treasurer, but with so many added tasks for the president and the
treasurer, many tasks can be better taken care of by the new office.

There is a need for an ACASA archive. Many of the notes and
other material have been lost as the office of president has passed
from person to person. David Easterbrook has volunteered to
assist with the archiving, but it is the opinion of the board that a
position on the board should be assigned to the position and that
assistance and help can be made use of such people as
Easterbrook. The elected person should gather materials and
determine what should be included in consultation with past
presidents. Michael Conner has copies of past Newsletters. Enid
Schildkrout has much material as well. It was suggested we might
investigate the possibility of placing the archives in the
Herskovitts Archives in the Northwestern Library. Michael Conner
will work as the archivist, assuming his tasks as president pro-tern
will not take up a great deal of time.

Fundraising
The fundraising committee has a great deal of work to do. In the
past the committee was composed of many people who were not
on the board. Letters need to go out to potential donors. We
decided we would fill this position at a later time.

Green stated that she will investigate the possibility of paying
dues and making contributions via credit card.

Outreach Committee
Robin Poynor will chair the outreach committee.

CAA/ASA Coordinator
Someone who is a member of both organizations should fill the
CAA/ASA Coordinator position. Chris Steiner was suggested as a
possibility. Lawal stated that although he does not want to take on
the task alone, he will be glad to assist.

Triennial Committee
A Triennial Committee can be appointed at a later time. We do
need to appoint one by the next ASA meeting in November 2001.

Social Sciences/Humanties Committee
It was noted that the by-laws call for a Social Sciences/Humanities
committee, which has never been filled. The reason for the
committee is to build relationships with other groups and to be
aware of possibilities of interaction among various disciplines.
Steiner, Eicher, and Schildkrout are all social scientists and can
work on that end, while Lawal, Conner and Poynor are art
historians and can represent that area. One possibility if interac-
tion may be identifying another group to consider sponsoring a
joint meeting.

Graduate Program Home Page
A graduate program home page has been suggested. Eli Bentor has
volunteered to host a page of graduate programs. We need
someone to work with Bentor on the project. Schildkrout is willing
to assist.

We need to consider the various needs of ACASA and be aware of
any other committees or task forces that need to be created.
ACASA can create a committee at any time. One possible such
committee may be a "web site committee."




Membership
We need to increase the number of participating and paying
members of ACASA. There is a need to investigate the differences
between Hafrarts and ACASA. We can use the list serve for
example to suggest that one may subscribe to the Newsletter
online. The large number of courtesy memberships provided to
those in Africa and the Caribbean is a financial drain. We want to
continue to support these members, but we may need to explore
other ways of supporting them. For example, we might ask paying
members to elect to sponsor an African member at a partial rate.
We may need to raise dues for American members. Dues rates can
be determined by the Board. We need to investigate dues
structures used by comparable organizations. We also need to
increase the endowment.
Bylaws
Newly elected president Robert Soppelsa continued the meeting
and reiterated that our bylaws are in need of attention. A number
of policy changes have taken place since the bylaws were written.
Pat presidents and secretaries may be invited to attend a meeting
of the board at ASA to consider bylaws revisions. Issues that need
discussion include
E Dues structure: look at other organizations; alternative means
for paying for mailing of newsletters; investigating [possibil-
ity of USIS helping with mailing newsletter and book
dispersal; carrying of African and Caribbean memberships;
E By-laws: some boards have attorneys look over bylaws.
Perhaps Richard Faletti can be asked to look over ACASA's
bylaws.
E We need to develop a strategic plan with short range and
long-range goals.
Treasurer's report
As of Monday, April 23, we had a total of $70,000. Much for the
triennial still needs to be sorted out. We have over $20,000 in
awards for student travel and African and Caribbean travel.
We need to introduce the attendance of grad students and the
amount of travel support we provided for them in the next issue of
the Newsletter.
The meeting was adjourned.


ACASA Awards Speeches



Founders Award

Presentation by Roland Abiodun
It is a great honor to be asked to present Richard A.
Long, the Atticus Haygood Professor of Interdiscipli-
nary Studies at Emory University in Atlanta for the
distinguished Founder's Award.
Today, The Arts Council of the African Studies
Association wishes to acknowledge your contribu-
tions as a leading humanities scholar, a dedicated
teacher, a strong patron of the arts, and most impor-
tantly, for your unique vision and role in founding
the Triennial Symposium on African Art-a forum
which has served us extremely well for the discus-
sion, dissemination and exchange of research find-
ings on the arts of Africa and the African Diaspora
since 1967.
Recognizing your role in our organization is akin to
acknowledging the presence and influence of elders


and ancestors in African culture. To acknowledge
elders and ancestors and to seek their support are not
only indicative of true wisdom but also insurance
against catastrophe. As the Yoruba say, "If the
earthworm pays homage to the dry and solid earth,
the earth opens its doors for the boneless earthworm.
Similarly, when youths pay due respect to their
elders, they live to a ripe old age."
Born 74 years ago in Philadelphia, Professor Long,
even as a youth seemed to share something with his
father, a skilled blacksmith whose patron orisa in
Yoruba culture would have been Ogun, the discov-
erer who cuts new paths and opens the way for
others. For, almost as soon as he could walk and
venture out by himself, Professor Long began
exploring the world around him-visiting museums,
galleries, and talking great interest in cultural
activities in his native Philadelphia. He read avidly
and was well informed on American history, litera-
ture, and the arts. At 16, he was admitted to Temple
University to major in English. By the time he turned
23, he had already been to London and Paris in his
eagerness to learn more about other peoples and
cultures.
Upon completion of his doctorate in linguistics in the
University of Portiers in 1965, Professor Long taught
at Morgan State University and later at Hampton
Institute (now Hampton University) in Virginia,
where he became Professor of English and French
and also the Director of the College's Museum.
There, Professor Long's strong and abiding interest in
contemporary and traditional African art were
manifested in his exhibitions for Hampton College's
Centennial and at the Union Carbide Building in
New York in 1967.
Professor Long's talent for innovative approaches to,
and strategies in, African and African-American
studies was soon recognized by many educational
institutions in the United States. He was actively
sought after by Harvard University and Atlanta
University. For a few years, he shuttled between
Cambridge and Atlanta before he decided to settle in
Atlanta because of its more hospitable climate. In
1988, Professor Long accepted an offer from Emory
University to become the Atticus Haygood Professor
of Interdisciplinary Studies in the Graduate Institute
of Liberal Arts where he had served as adjunct since
1973.
Professor Long recognized the need for a symposium
on African art and established the first official
Triennial Symposium which was hosted by the
Hampton Institute in 1968. Since that time, other
Triennial Symposia have been held at Harvard
University (1971); Columbia University (1974); the
Museum of African Art (1977); the High Museum/
5





Atlanta University (1980); University of Oklahoma
(1983); UCLA (1986); the Smithsonian National
Museum of African Art (1989); the University of Iowa
(1992); New York University (1995); New Orleans
(1998); and now St. Thomas. Professor Long also
founded other professional organizations, notably
the Center for African and African-American Studies
in 1968 and the New World Festivals of the Africa
Diaspora in 1978.
Yet, in the midst of these cultural activities, Professor
Long made time to support young scholars and to do
his own scholarly writing. To date, he has supervised
28 doctoral dissertations and published more than 10
books and articles. Long's academic and research
interests are very wide-they range from dance,
music, and literature to the visual arts in Africa and
the African Diaspora. Although Professor Long
describes himself as "cultural historian," after
reading some of his works, we can safely add that he
is also an accomplished art critic and aesthetician.
The following is an example of the thought he shares
with his students:
There are many unexamined cliches about what the
visual arts are or are supposed to be as there are
about literature, music, theater, and other areas of
human expressivity. Thinkers of virtually every bent
engage in reflection of the relation between the arts
and the various groups who produce them and for
whom they are produced, and the result of their
reflection is often a prescription of what the arts
should be or should do. The matter becomes, poten-
tially at least, highly sensitive when we move to a
consideration of what is taught about the arts. What
are the obligations of the teacher? What are the limits
he should observe?" (Richard A. Long, n.d. Visual
Arts Syllabus)
In conclusion, Professor Long, permit me to liken
you to the proverbial elephant who is not a creature
which one can say he sees faintly. When one sees an
elephant, he must say so.
On behalf of all the members of ACASA, I thank you
for your foresight in founding the Triennial Sympo-
sium on African Art. Please accept this inscribed
plaque as a token and permanent record of our
appreciation.

At the Trienniah
Contrasting Realities of 2001
In February I went to Chad and Mali on a State
Department mission. My schedule in Chad was a
very full one: I lectured on artists of the Harlem
Renaissance, on jazz, and on African American
concert-theatrical dance, all topics on which I have
lectured and written recently. My stay in N'Djamena


also included cultural visits-to an art gallery, to the
ruins of a cinema under restoration to become an art
center, and to the National Museum, which is billed
as an inclusive Cultural Center.
The reality was more bleak. I had been warned that it
was open only on appointment and that an attempt
to make an appointment for me had not succeeded.
Once we were there, my embassy guide negotiated
with functionaries who were on site. One of them
produced a huge ring full of keys and one by one the
rooms of he colonial era mansion which houses the
museum were unlocked.
The display of Chadian ethnography was somewhat
faded and lifeless. A special exhibition in a new
adjacent building, built by funds from the European
Union, was devoted to musical instruments. The
concept was a good one, but the objects were badly
conserved and the entire exhibit dust-laden.
I was also taken to a small museum in the dust-
choked village of Gaori where objects of local excava-
tion and provenance are displayed in an especially
constructed traditional dwelling. This had charm, but
little outreach.
Where should a museum fit in the priorities of Chad,
so recently ravaged by civil war and ethnolingistic
tensions? This is clearly a subject for reflection, as is
the grotesque fact that to go from N'Djamena to
Bamako, a distance of 1800 miles, I had to fly first to
Paris and then back to Mali, a distance of 5,000 miles.
In comparison with lethargic N'Djamena, Bameko is
teeming with life and traffic, perhaps pre-figuring a
Lagos-like go-slow. The National Museum in
Bamako, which has enjoyed a subsidy both architec-
tural and financial from France, is a model small
museum. It featured a special exhibition devoted to
hunting, its costumes, its regalia, its implements, all
of which was of considerable ethnographic, esthetic
and pedagogic interest.
Leaving Mali where I had spoken to a number of
dance groups about African American dancers and
where my remarks in French had to be translated
into Bambara, I flew once more to Paris, for a few
days of purposeful activity.
I visited the Louvre, but not the exhibition which is a
subject of controversy. The decision by the directorate
to exhibit works of African and Oceanic Art there
within the sacred precincts had been greeted with
horror by some. Did this compromise the Museum's
mission as a repository of great art? Was the Mona
Lisa in danger of contamination? Probably not since
it has also been announced that she is to have a
separate room soon. My visit was focused on the




palace itself, but that is another story.
My most intriguing visit was to he mysteriously
financed Mus6e Dapper, now re-located and re-
opened in opulent splendor in the Rue Paul Valkry.
Its inaugural exposition consists of a large number of
historicized, almost mythical, works of African art,
some of which have ended up in the museum's
possession, others of which have been borrowed
from collections, public and private. An extraordi-
nary number of middle-aged ladies were in the
galleries sketching the works. Two or three docent-
led groups were oozing through the penumbral
gloom.
The filtered art, the manipulated light, the muted
textual commentary all seemed light years away
from the dust of Djamena, the cacophony of Bamako,
and even the polemics of the Louvre.
In sifting through the questions posed by these recent
experiences, I ask myself and I ask you, how do we
respond to the challenge posed by these contrasting
realities? Is the response itself a question? What is the
challenge?

/ACUlS Leadership Award to John Picton



Presentation to John Picton by Sidney L. Kasfir, Ph.D.

There was a time in the early eighties when, just back
in the USA from completing my degree at SOAS,
people were apt to say to me, "You worked with John
Picton? Who's that?" It therefore gives me the
greatest possible feeling of pleasure-and vindica-
tion!-to introduce him to you as a recipient of this
year's ACASA Leadership award.
To anyone who has had the good fortune to be his
student, friend or colleague (and I am trying to speak
here for all three), John possesses three extraordinary
qualities to a degree it is unfair to expect in ordinary
humans: enormous erudition in his chosen field, a
healthy skepticism toward received wisdom of all
kinds, and a wicked sense of humor only barely held
in check by British reserve.
I'll also mention briefly the three interlocking seg-
ments of his highly integrated career, and his major
intellectual interests over the past forty years. But
first, the person: I felt I was prepared for academic
rigor by my previous time at Harvard, but there a
single sentence written at the end of a student's
seminar paper was considered sufficient rebuke. John


Picton covered the margins of one's papers with
dozens of assaults on one's competence and judg-
ment, the text peppered in red ink in his microscopic
handwriting. It was not until I worked in the Nige-
rian National Archives a few years later that I
suddenly recognized both the style and content of
the marginal "minute" of the British colonial docu-
ment, inscribed by a higher-up to put a young
district officer in his place and adopted, consciously
or unconsciously, by John as a way of reining in his
students' aberrations.
As to the healthy skepticism, let me illustrate it with
his relationship to theory of any kind. John's in-
stincts, early in his career, were strongly empirical,
reflecting his solid training in British social anthro-
pology at University College. But as graduate
students in the seventies, we were all smitten by
Levi-Strauss and structuralism. Having to deal with
this as a teacher, he validated it strictly through his
Yoruba or his Ebira fieldwork, thus the structuralist
mantra from an Ebira informant which every student
of his could recite: "God made all things double:
masquerading for men and witchcraft for women.
Over the years he has mellowed and even ripened on
the theory issue, which he now integrates seamlessly
into his teaching and writing, but he still prefers his
observations to be very empirically grounded, and
still places a great premium on what Africans have to
say about their own art and its place in the scheme of
things.
Regarding the wicked humor, all of our colleagues
who got their start as Peace Corps Volunteers in
Nigeria or by working for the Dept of Antiquities
have John Picton tales to tell, but these are not
properly repeated at a dignified awards ceremony, so
you will have to ask Perk Foss, Anita Glaze, Anna
Craven, Jehanne Teilhet-Fisk and others in person. I
do have one note from a very recent student, Yemi
Onafuwa, which is admissible evidence here:
He is a scathingly funny mimic. Two instances come
to mind from last year: the 'Auntie BBC' with whom
he traveled to Ghana a few years ago...he raised his
voice an octave, adopted a posh English accent, and
it was as if Monty Python had somehow wandered
into our 'African Art and Society' class. The second
instance was when he did the 'Whiny American
graduate student': he is one of those Englishmen
who can imitate an American accent much better
than one has any right to expect. Yet, in the final
analysis, what one does come away with is that he is
indeed a most gentle and kind person, as exemplified
by his repeated statement that the Ebira communities
which he studied contain people he feels far greater
kinship with than with Englishmen.




John has had three careers, each preparing him for
the next. First there was his decade from 1961 to 1970
with the Dept of Antiquities. While based in Lagos,
he carried out a program of extensive research and
documentation of both Yoruba and Ebira art and
artists (much of the Ebira material is still stuffed in a
filing cabinet and he says it is the big project for his
retirement in two years). After this, he returned to
England and for the decade of the seventies worked
under Bill Fagg until Fagg's retirement, and then
under Malcolm McLeod in the Department of
Ethnography of the British Museum, creating several
memorable exhibitions with Fagg including the
Yoruba show and the Benin permanent installation
and with John Mack, the African Textiles show. These
exhibitions based on the extraordinary holdings of
the British Museum set a standard of scholarship
which has rarely been equaled anywhere. But
beginning in thel973-74 academic session, he did
these things while also teaching the weekly Nigerian
art seminar at SOAS. As a civil servant, he wasn't
allowed any official time off to do this, so to talk with
him, I or any other student had to meet him at the
Museum and half-run alongside him as he strided on
exceptionally long legs from Burlington Gardens to
SOAS, while downing his lunchtime sandwich and
arguing points. In 1979 he moved to SOAS fulltime
and since his acceptance speech gives details of this
third period, I won't repeat them here except to say
that he has overseen a grand project of consolidation
and growth in African art studies at SOAS in his
twenty-plus years there.
I will end with his major teaching preoccupations
over the years: Yoruba, Benin, Akoko-Edo and Ebira
art, and since the early 90s, African contemporary
genres. In Yoruba studies he taught us a perspective
which is subtly different from the American one. Our
points of reference were not exhibition catalogues but
very rigorous articles in anthropological journals
beginning with Peter Morton- Williams, Joan
Wescott, Denis Williams, Justine Cordwell and of
course the Yoruba scholars themselves. And because
he had accompanied both William Fagg and Frank
Willett in the field, he was expert at interpreting their
findings as well as filling in between the lines in their
publications.
Regarding the contemporary, we are all encapsulated
in the time we live in. For example, while I had
actually acquired a background in contemporary
African art in Uganda before arriving at SOAS, it was
understood, back in the 70s, that such an interest
couldn't be considered "serious." Some of us didn't
even include such experiences on our c.v.'s for fear
that it might be held against us by someone looking
us over for a teaching position. In like fashion, John's


decade in Lagos was the same 60s decade in which
postcolonial Nigerian art was suddenly popping up
everywhere, as he mentions in his own remarks, yet
when he and I began as teacher and student at SOAS,
it would not have occurred to anyone that this new
art should be included in the formal syllabus at such
an august, but still neocolonial, institution. The
serious business at hand then was salvage ethnogra-
phy, and given that several departments at SOAS and
University College up the street were peopled almost
exclusively by Nigerianists, many students were
encouraged to go there for fieldwork. John was
especially interested in getting people to work in the
Niger-Benue confluence where the Ebira lived, so he
sent me to do fieldwork in Idoma following up Roy
Sieber's initial visit twenty years earlier, and kept in
close touch with Arnold Rubin further east among
the Jukun. He also advised Marilyn Houlberg during
her Yoruba fieldwork and Jean Borgatti in northern
Edo, though neither was his student.
John's move toward the contemporary during the
past decade after years of very thorough grounding
in the older genres of southern and central Nigeria
reflects a now-common pattern in our field, driven
partly by student interest in the art of our time and
partly by the new developments which have opened
up in the field through curatorial efforts of Africans
themselves to propel this art onto the world stage. As
a trainer of graduate students, as a curator and as an
encyclopedic source of knowledge on Nigerian art he
has always been the best kind of role model- one who
cares very deeply about his calling but actively resists
his own promotion to the status of living legend.





On receiving an ACASA Leadership Award

On Monday 4th December 2000, Sue and I found
ourselves talking to a surgeon about my needing a
hole drilled in my head (to remove a benign tumor);
and we returned home to find Martha Anderson's
letter offering me an ACASA Leadership Award.
Clearly, a hole in the head would not be the end of
the world as we knew it; and yet, as I read Martha's
letter my first thought was: what have I done to
deserve a leadership award? Still, ACASA is the most
comprehensive and authoritative body of scholars in
the fields of African art studies, and its Leadership
Award is truly the greatest honour I could possibly
expect to receive. I am all the more sad, therefore,
that in my current post-operative condition of acute
debilitation I do not have the stamina necessary for
transatlantic flying and a busy conference. Such is the




effect of seven hours of open brain surgery and
another four or five hours of nerve transplant
surgery (to 'rewire' my face!).
I have been extremely fortunate in my professional
life on two counts. Firstly, I arrived in Lagos to take
up my appointment as curator of the Lagos Museum
in June 1961, within the first twelve months of
Nigerian Independence. I encountered an enthusi-
asm for 'One Nigeria' (an enthusiasm that is still
there in spite of military coups, the bloody persecu-
tion of Igbo people, the civil war, the alternation
between military rule and civilian government, and
current incipient fascisms: I think most especially of
the Odua Peoples Congress). Lagos in 1961 was an
exciting city. There were at least three different and
active masquerading institutions on Lagos Island,
Brazillian architecture was everywhere (many of the
key monuments have tragically disappeared since
then, or are at best, utterly neglected). Ben Enwonwu
was 'on seat' as Government Art Adviser, and Felix
Idubor ran his own gallery. Over the next couple of
years Bruce Onobrakpeya became the art teacher at
St Gregory's College, Yusuf Grillo took over the Fine
Art Department at the Yaba College of Technology,
Erhabor Emokpae was active in the field of graphic
design, and the exhibition centre of Nigeria magazine
had a lively series of shows including artists such as
Malangatana and El Salahi brought to Nigeria by Ulli
Beier. I was glad of the prior training I received from
William Fagg at the British Museum; and yet in
Lagos the corpus of ethnographic certainties that I
had imbibed was about as representative of Nigeria,
as the pith helmet was representative of Europe. In
due course, I discovered that the real catalyst for
thinking through what I had experienced during the
nine years that followed, working for the Nigerian
government, was only to be found in face-to-face
engagement with students, and the need to clarify for
them the terms within which one deals with ques-
tions of description and translation, and especially
the need to identify the limited metaphoricity of so
many of those terms. It was, moreover, the experi-
ence of Lagos that motivated my insistence on the
irrelevance of ethnicity as THE defining category (in
contrast to its negotiable usefulness in practice, from
time to time); and it was Lagos that brought home to
me the need to abandon the simplistic (at best)
distinction between "traditional" and "contempo-
rary" in favour of a recognition that artists within
one tradition of practice inevitably draw upon the
work of artists in other traditions, whether those
traditions are of the past or still current. Art makers,
in other words, invariably supply their own ethnog-
raphy. (I realize of course that I am not alone in all
this; which brings me to my next point that...)


Secondly, I have also been fortunate in finding myself
able to work in collaboration productively with
colleagues in the School of Oriental and African
Studies of the University of London, to transform the
teaching not just of African art, but the full range of
Islamic, South, South-East and East Asian arts. Soon
after I joined SOAS in 1979 it was clear that art
history and archaeology were little better than 'lame
ducks' fit only for killing off in the sacrificial context
of the odious Mrs. Thatcher's attack on British
universities. There was no department, just a small
number of faculty scattered across five regional
language/literature departments and an even
smaller number of students; but there was a cross-
departmental committee to co-ordinate our activities,
which I took over as chair on April Fool's Day 1986.
Through the next six years we worked together to re-
order our intellectual coherence, increase student
intake, and secure funding for new posts, and we
were able to turn things around. Now we have
thirteen permanent faculty in a department that has
consistently gained high gradings in national teach-
ing and research assessments, and we are fully self-
funded in terms of student fee income and research
grants. When I arrived at SOAS there was no BA
teaching in African art, whereas now it is possible for
students to take at least one third of their courses in
African art (and MA students at least half). My
predecessor, Guy Atkins, appointed in fact for Bantu
language teaching had had three Ph.D. students, all
well known to ACASA: Ruth Phillips, Sidney Kasfir
and Dunja Hersak. Ten or so of my students have
completed the Ph.D. in African art history, and by the
time I retire in September 2003 I1 should have pre-
pared a further ten for the pH; and all this at a time
of minimal graduate research funding. Moreover, I
am no longer all alone here. My colleague Tania
Costa Tribe is a specialist in the various diasporic
Africas as well as Egypt, Nubia and Ethiopia, and we
currently have a post-doctoral fellow in Africanist
archaeology. We can also call on the help of col-
leagues elsewhere in SOAS: Elsbeth Court, Frances
Harding and Jennifer Law (respectively east and
southern Africa, film and performance, and current
South African art).
I may, in due course, expand on these and other
issues in the published version of this address; but
before I conclude, there are two people who deserve
my particular thanks on this occasion. The first is
Sue, whom I met as she arrived in Lagos on a boat
from Liverpool on 25th July 1968. We are still to-
gether, and without her I could barely have survived.
The other is Sidney Kasfir. Sidney was in the first
class I ever taught at SOAS (Guy Atkins established
an MA course and had persuaded me to teach part of
it while I was still at the British Museum; and the





following year, Dunja was in the class). Sidney
helped me arrange the furniture in my room when I
arrived in SOAS. Sidney got me to the ASA meeting
in Madison 1986, where I was able to renew my
friendship with Arnold Rubin. This led to my teach-
ing for him at UCLA during the Fall Quarter the
following year, this in turn providing me with the
ideas that I needed to help turn things around in
SOAS.
I also want to thank everyone involved in institu-
tional support for the study of African art, for the
manner in which they have promoted the ever-
expanding enthusiasm for and scope of our fields of
study, most especially African Arts, ACASA, the
National Museum of African Art, the Museum for
African Art, and the Fowler Museum of Cultural
History. Without them, none of us could have done
very much. I now conclude, as I began; for me the
receipt of an ACASA Leadership Award is a greater
honour than I could ever have expected to have the
good fortune to receive.
Thank you.

News From ASA
African Studies Association Annual Meeting 2001
November 15-18, 2001
Houston, Texas

2001 THEME: Africa and the African Diaspora: Past,
Present, Future
African studies has for too long remained captive to
the area studies paradigm that first shaped the
academic construction of our field in the 1950s. One
of the several consequences of this situation has been
the artificial separation of African Studies from
studies of the African Diaspora. To be sure, not all
scholars of Africa have abided by these distinctions,
but by and large these divisions have held center
stage with the exception of those programs that
specifically defined themselves as either Black
Studies or Pan-African Studies. Renewed popular
and scholarly interest in the African Diaspora makes
this an opportune moment for members of the
African Studies Association to re-examine its place in
the study of Africa. At the same time, we believe this
also to be an occasion to emphasize the issue of
Africa's significance for the study of the African
Diaspora. By focusing on this theme we do not,
however, intend to ignore specifically African topics.
Indeed, we see Diaspora studies as complementing
10


what Africanists who focus on processes and issues
in Africa do and have done historically. In short, our
goal is to encourage dialogue.

Exhibitions
Art of the Lega: Meaning and Metaphor in Central
Africa
This major exhibition presents Lega art of the Bwami
Society, including exquisite masks, spoons, baskets,
and abstracted figures made from wood, ivory, and
found objects. The men and women in Lega culture
enter Bwami to learn skills and wisdom for life that
are taught to initiates through the art. From the
insignia of membership and found objects used in
the early stages of initiation, to zoomorphic figures
and figural sculptures that belong to age and wis-
dom, Bwami is a life-long path. It teaches members
of Lega society that moral goodness begets beauty
and that knowledge is power.
As one moves through the levels of Bwami, he or she
is given fewer verbal lessons by which to interpret
the art. The exhibition is organized in much the same
way. Mirroring the sequence of Bwami teachings, the
art is presented in context with proverbs, music, and
photos of Bwami ritual. As the viewer navigates the
galleries, he or she encounters fewer and fewer
didactic materials so as to begin to perceive the work
in a more visceral way.
Art of the Lega: Meaning and Metaphor in Central Africa has been
developed by the UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History, in
collaboration with The Nelson- Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas
City, Missouri. All works presented are either in the permanent
holdings of the Fowler Museum or the collection of Jay T. Last as
promised gifts to the Fowler. After dosing at the Fowler, the
exhibition will travel to The Nelson (October 6,2002-May 4,2003)





A Personal Journey:
Central African Art from the Lawrence Gussman
Collection
The Neuberger Museum of Art (Purchase, New
York), The National Museum of African Art,
Smithsonian, (Washington, D.C.), and the Israel
Museum in Jerusalem were recent recipients of gifts
of outstanding Central African artworks from the
collection of Lawrence Gussman. Seventy-five pieces
drawn from the three museums' collections make up
the traveling exhibition. Following the tour, the
Newberger Museum's holdings from the Gussman
gift will be integrated into the Neuberger's existing
collection of African Art as part of a planned major
reinstallation of its permanent collection. An illus-
trated catalog accompanies the exhibition, which
includes an essay by Christa Clarke, Ph.D.,
Neuberger Museum of Art Curator of African Art.

Reconsidering the Arts and Cultures of Central
Africa will be a one-day, interdisciplinary sympo-
sium held in conjunction with the exhibition, A
Personal Journey: Central African Art from the Lawrence
Gussman Collection at the Neuberger Museum of Art,
Purchase College, State University of New York, in
Purchase, New York. This exhibition, organized by
the Neuberger Museum of Art in collaboration with
the National Museum of African Art in Washington,
DC and The Israel Museum, Jerusalem, features
approximately seventy-five works of central African
art formerly in the collection of Lawrence Gussman,
now dispersed among the three organizing institu-
tions. The exhibition presents a broad portrait of
central African art through its inclusion of both well -
known object types as well as less familiar artistic
forms. Its thematic organization explores a number
of wide-ranging cultural traditions, demonstrating
the dynamic nature of artistic exchange in central
Africa.
With its regional focus and breadth of representation,
the exhibition invites reflection and reconsideration
of the artistic traditions of central Africa. The
symposium will provide a forum for nationally
12


recognized scholars of anthropology, art history and
archaeology to present to a diverse audience their
recent research on central African art and culture.
Symposium participants will focus on issues of
history, canon creation, hybridity and cultural
exchange and new directions for the study of central
African art. Eight scholars from the fields of art
history, archaeology, and anthropology will present
papers in two three-hour sessions. The symposium
will provide not only a broader context for viewing
works included in the museum exhibition, but will
also contribute to a greater understanding of central
African cultures.

This exhibition explores a contemporary West
African art movement that has emerged in response
to a traditional Malian textile called bogolan, or
"mudcloth." "Renewing Tradition" illustrates the
richness and dynamism of African culture by tracing

Awards

African Studies Association Announces Children's
Africana Book Award Winners
New Brunswick, NJ- August 9, 2001-The African
Studies Association (ASA)is pleased to announce the
winners for the 2001 Children's Africana Book
Award. The 2001 Children's Africana Book Award
winners are: Young Children Category: Margy Burns
Knight, Mark Melnicove, Anne Sibley O'Brien (illus.),
Africa is Not a Country (Brookfield, CT: The
Millbrook Press, Inc., 2000). Older Readers Category:
Sylviane Anna Diouf, Kings and Oueens of West
Africa (New York: Franklin Watts/ Grolier Publish-
ing, 2000).
The honor books are: Cristina Kessler and Walter
Lyon Krudop (illus.). My Great-Grandmother's
Gourd. (New York: Orchard Books/ Grolier, 2000).
Tololwa Mollel and Linda Saport (illus.) Subira
Surbira. New York: Clarion (New York: Houghton
Mifflin, 2000).
A distinguished award committee, chaired by Brenda
Randolph of Africa Access, selected the winning
books and honor books from dozens of entries.
Speaking for the committee, Randolph praised Kings
and Queens of West Africa stating, "In Kings and
Queens of West Africa, author Sylviane Diouf
highlights the goals and strategies of West African
monarchs who were a cut above the ordinary. As she
ably shows, these leaders were concerned not only
with power and expansion but also with the gover-
nance, protection and cultural strength of their
communities. This book and the other biographies in
the Kings and Queens of Africa series fill an impor-
tant void in school libraries." About the winner in the
Young Readers Category, Randolph noted, "Africa
has over fifty nations but most Americans see it as a
single entity. Africa is Not a Country corrects this




error by highlighting unique characteristics of
various African nations. This book is an excellent
way to show the diversity and complexity of the
world's second largest continent."
The Children's Africana Book Awards were estab-
lished in 1991 by the African Studies Association to
encourage the publication and use of accurate,
balanced children's materials on Africa. The awards
focus specifically on books published in the United
States about Africa. Since 1991, more than 18 awards
have been presented to outstanding authors and
illustrators. The African Studies Association is a non-
profit corporation founded in 1957 and open to all
persons and institutions interested in African affairs.
The goals of the organization are to bring together
persons with scholarly and professional interest in
Africa, to provide useful services to schools, busi-
nesses, media, and communities at large, to publish
and distribute scholarly materials on Africa and to
promote the study of Africa.

ASSOCIATION FOR ART HISTORIANS (UK) CALL
FOR PAPERS
"Collecting the Colony: Contemporary thoughts on
imperial histories"
A session to be held at-
Culture: Capital: Colony, 28th Association of Art
Historians Annual Conference; 4 - 7 April 2002;
University of Liverpool. For more information about
the conference and other sessions
visitwww.aah.org.uk
Session convenors: Professor Partha Mitter, History
of Art, School of English and American Studies, Arts
B, University of Sussex, Falmer, Brighton & Judith
Green, History of Art, Graduate Research Centre in
Humanities, Arts B, University of Sussex, Falmer,
Brighton, England;
Collecting has been a central practice of colonialism:
objects have been captured along with territory,
works of art acquired along with information.
Fragments of empire have been brought together in
collections embodying colonial and imperial projects.
This session seeks to expand understanding of the
intersection of collecting and colonialism by bringing
together scholars working on the many different
aspects of this issue. Proposals are invited for papers
addressing any aspect of collecting within a colonial
context. Any kind of collecting may be examined:
whether public or private; consisting of souvenirs or
systematically ordered objects. Collecting of any
variety of visual and material culture (whether
designated 'fine art,' 'decorative art' or artefactt') can
be addressed. Discussions of collecting in all colonial
situations, ranging from settler colonies to imperial
enclaves, and in all historical periods including the
present, are welcome. All papers should have in
common the aim not only of tracing the history of
collecting within a specific colonial context, but also a
desire to engage with wider historical and theoretical
questions concerning the comparative study of
colonialism and collecting.
