Join us on February 8 for part one of our three part art lecture series! Presenter Dr. Norris will lead an exploration of the cultural tapestry of West Africa through centuries of art from within its 18 present-day countries, especially the Benin kingdom of the Edo people. Included in the lecture will be sculpture, metalwork and ivories from local museums, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Princeton University Art Museum.
Dr. Norris got his BA in classics from the University of California at San Diego and his MA in classics and Ph.D. in art history at the University of California at Santa Barbara.
