Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Collaboration with a museum in Nigeria

Dear Catalani,

You may wish to collaborate with our museum in our University. We have two different museums in our university, Obafemi Awolowo Univerity, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. We have the Natural History Museum that curates both the Natural and cultural objects and the Museum of antiquities that curates cultural objects. If we can open a line of discussion on this to see if I could I  collaborate with you on the project.

Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Collaboration with a museum in Nigeria

Dear usaafricadialogue group members,

My name is Anna Catalani and I am an academic from the University of Lincoln, UK.

I have been working on issues relating to Yoruba material culture and Western Museums since 2001.

I am now working on a project looking at the African Diaspora in the UK, applied theatre and the re-interpretation of African intangible heritage, through museum objects (in the UK).

I am hoping to set a collaboration with a museum or art centre in Nigeria so that the re-interpretation of museum collections can also happen via social media (so linking the African diaspora in the UK with African visitors in Nigeria, through a creative dialogue).

I was wondering if any of you could help me to liaise with a museum/museum professional in Nigeria, who could be interested in the project.

I hope to hear from some of you!

Kind regards,

Anna Catalani
