In Africa, the materials that are used to make objects of daily and ritual life are profoundly significant. Material is meaning. Material Differences: Art and Identity in Africa examines the different layers of meaning inherent in the material of each object. Many African cultures believe that mineral and organic materials contain supernatural powers that are associated with protection, healing or with leadership. Some of these materials-wood, ivory, stone, clay, or metals such as iron, copper alloys, and gold-are laden with symbolic significance. The exhibition and this publication investigate the numerous factors that lead to the choice of specific materials in the creation of works of art in sub-Saharan Africa.
