SynopsisAn exhibition catalogue for an exhibition of the same name curated by Susanna W. Gold, Ph.D at Woodmere Art Museum in 2020. Africa in the Arts of Philadelphia brings together the work of visual artists Barbara Bullock (born 1938), Charles Searles (1937-2004), and Twins Seven-Seven (1944-2011), exploring their collaborative cross-fertilization of ideas and assertions of African and African American cultural identity. These artists participated in the activities of the Ile-Ife Black Humanitarian Center in North Philadelphia. Conceived and established in 1969 by dancer and choreographer Arthur Hall (1934-2000), Ile-Ife offered visual arts, performance, and musical arts classes and programs for the Philadelphia community. Africa in the Arts of Philadelphia examines the work of these artists and their formative experiences at Ile-Ife, which expanded their understanding of the richness of African traditions.
