African Cosmos: Stellar Arts
http://www.si.edu/Exhibitions/Details/African-Cosmos-Stellar-Arts-4781
This first major exhibition of some 90 objects explores how the celestial bodies of the sun, moon, and stars and such celestial phenomena as rainbows and eclipses serve as sources of inspiration in the creation of African art, both traditional and contemporary. Far from abstract, African ideas about the universe are intensely personal and place human beings in relationships with the earth, sky, and celestial bodies.
I am definitely going to see this!
