World on the Horizon: Swahili Arts Across the Indian Ocean
FOWLER | Oct. 21, 2018—Feb. 10, 2019, Fowler Museum
Featuring more than 150 artworks from eastern and central Africa and the western Indian Ocean rim, World on the Horizon enters the streets and homes of Swahili port towns and beyond, highlighting the arts of diplomacy and trade, the built environment and domestic interiors, society and fashion, and spiritual knowledge and devotion. The arts on view speak to an outward-looking ethos—one of encounter and possibility, negotiation, and struggle—that connects the people on the Swahili coast with faraway places, and reveals how people bring the world home.
This event is presented by the Fowler Museum at UCLA.
