Sculpture as a Medium of African Identity and Resistance

This examination focuses on sculptural practices in Africa as a reflection of identity and a means of resistance against colonial narratives. The study prioritizes both traditional and modern approaches to sculpture.

Sculpture in the African context provides insights into various communities' spiritual beliefs and cultural heritage. It has also played a pivotal role in the resistance against colonial and contemporary socio-political challenges.

Candidates will be evaluated on their ability to articulate the nuances of sculptural forms, their purposes within communities, and their evolving significance in contemporary art discourse. Critical thinking will be fundamental to this assessment.

The interaction between sculpture and societal identity, including how various artists engage with cultural symbols, will also be examined to highlight the continuity of artistic practices across generations.
