Overview
A special collaboration between the Kennedy Center's Office of International Programming and ARTSEDGE, this site was developed in support of a four-year "African Odyssey" festival of the performing, visual, and literary arts of sub-Saharan Africa. Begun in 1996, the site is now in archive form, presenting event profiles for over 20 of the artists and programs that appeared over the run of the festival.
Suggested Use
Designed for access by teachers and older students, this resource provides a snapshot of the festival and delivers a wide variety of material, from articles and interviews to Web resources. Highlights include interviews with Athol Fugard, Koffi Koko and others, as well as activities and ideas for bringing the African arts and culture to your classroom in a meaningful way.
