    Throughout the course of African history there has been a significance contribution to the art of the different cultures. After reading and studying about various regions and cultures the similarities and differences all seem to link to a fascinating group of people. Exploring different groups of objects and cultures broadened my knowledge of particular traditions within the African culture. Visiting an actual exhibition contributed to a deeper level of understanding with the visual aids in close reach at the museum. I visited the Brooklyn Museum‘s African art exhibition and was very impressed and pleased with my findings.

    El Anatsui is known for his artwork utilizing recycled materials to create a contemporary piece that speaks to African historical traditions and art practices. One common material found in the artwork is aluminum labels of local Nigerian alcohol brands including whiskey, rum, brandy, vodka and others. The labels are then weaved together by copper wires to create a large cloth of aluminum. Anatsui used this medium to show the significance of the relationship between Europe and Africa. It correlates the earliest contact between the two wherein alcoholic beverages were introduced to Africans as trade items. The artworks emphasize the phrase “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” The materials are usually known as impermanent yet in this upcycling artwork they are more sustainable. The used materials show that alcohol is a temporary and “for-now” substance; the materials used in my own piece, parts of different electronics, show the same idea that technology is always changing never stagnant as Anatsui similarly says that is how life works.…
