Africa: A Legacy in Memory
  
To help celebrate Hamline University's 150th 
anniversary in 2004 a unique festival was held this 
spring. The festival, Africa: A Legacy in Memory, 
explored Africa’s artistic and cultural heritage and 
honored the contributions of the continent of Africa 
in the humanities and the arts.

The centerpiece of the festival was a special exhibition, Material  
Differences, organized and previously exhibited at the Museum for 
African Art in New York.

For more information about the festival, events, and exhibition, and to 
view various slideshows, please visit the festival's web site:

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:

Pace Primitive Gallery in New York graciously allowed us to use the Zombo mask, which can be seen to the left, as the iconic image of our festival. This impressive figure can also be seen on our festival poster.
We are delighted to announce that Pace Gallery has generously made it possible for the College of Liberal Arts to acquire this extraordinary piece for its permanent collection. This is a wonderful continuation of the legacy of our African art collection, which began at this institution more than 120 years ago.
