Item A cosmovisão africana sobre a morte nas telas de Jean Baptiste Debret(2009-02-07) Loreno Castro, SilviaItem Alafia(2009-12-01) Nyaphaga, Issa; Okediji, Moyo; Willmann, Travis (photographer)On December 1, 2009 the Fine Arts Library hosted Alafia, a performance and installation in honor of World Aids Day. The performance and installation of African art was presented by Issa Nyaphaga and UT Art History professor Moyo Okediji. Alafia – which means “health” in Yoruba – focused on health matters (art and healing go hand-in-hand in African and African diasporic arts), in particular the scourge of epidemic and pandemic ailments such as AIDS, swine flu, tuberculosis and Ebola. A procession of masks was to start from the “Igbale” (or shrine) at the Warfield Center for African and African American Studies and lead to the Fine Arts Library, where the grand performance and installation took place. Although the procession did not take place due to rain, the masks were on display on the third floor of the FAL through December 8. Photos by Travis Willman.

New Orleans Bounce music is a dynamic cultural performance of locality and blackness that prompts conflicting debates about the meaning of identity, place, and cultural heritage in “post-Katrina” New Orleans. Focusing on “Sissy” Bounce, an emergent subgenre defined by sexuality and gender, I investigate its significance as an expression of blackness marked by deviance within the socio-historical context of "post-Katrina" New Orleans. Specifically, the project frames “Sissy” Bounce as a cultural medium for the production of black space in a time of crisis, and argues that Bounce's symbolic form frames "queerness" as a tool of survival for young black people facing the politics of displacement, disorientation, and disaster. The quick rise of Bounce to national popularity has made it representational of the deviant black dancing body within the national imagination. Consequently, this dissertation also asks how these dances and representations effect meanings of blackness at home and throughout the nation? What does the resonance of “Sissy” Bounce in New Orleans and among its diaspora tell us about the political significance of queerness and displacement as nodal points of the contemporary black experience in the United States? The “Sissy” Bounce music scene’s ubiquity points to the resilience of black people living on the margins of family, community, and nation.Item British Artists of the African Diaspora(2015-08) Chambers, Eddie; Doroba, Mark (photographer)The FAL is proud to present the exhibit "British Artists of the African Diaspora".

Warfield Center for African and African American Studies is currently hosting an exhibition of Haitian painting that spans five decades, almost all of Haiti’s regional divisions, and a range of styles and eras. The exhibition features paintings selected from the collection of Rudy Green and Joyce Christian by curator, Lise Ragbir. This exhibition indicates something of the expanse and depth of Haitian painting, while demonstrating that Haitian art is a cornerstone of Caribbean art. Well-known contemporary Haitian artists Frantz Zephirin, Madsen Mompremier, Edouard Duval Carrié and Philippe Dodard, are exhibited alongside artists from an earlier generation including Pierre-Joseph Valcin, Tamara Baussan and Louverture Poisson. Influenced by African slaves, indigenous Caribbean cultures, Spanish and French Colonialism, American power and contemporary politics, Haitian art reveals much of the country’s fascinating history, intriguing religion and complex cultural expressions. The exhibition will be on view from September through December, 2013, in the ISESE Gallery, Jester Building, the University of Texas Campus in Austin, TX Concurrent to “Five Decades of Haitian Painting: Selections from the Green-Christian Collection”, the Fine Arts Library is hosting two displays of archival material relating to the art of Haiti, including a selection of the library’s publications on the subject.
