    Description
    <b><font color="7A0018">Begins Fall 2025</b></font><br> This course is a survey which examines the visual culture within selected regions in Africa, Oceania,and indigenous North America. An emphasis on traditional arts and practice includes sculpture, painting, performance, ceramics, textiles and architecture from antiquity through the colonial period to the present. Topics addressing the religious, cultural, social, economic, and political contexts of the art, as well as the impact of colonialism and representations of indigenous arts in museums, will be explored. The course facilitates comparison of arts from indigenous peoples to other world art traditions and assesses the contributions of indigenous arts in a global context.
