Arts of Survival: Recasting Lives in African Cities
In 2016, IAS hosted the “Arts of Survival: Recasting Lives in African Cities” Summer Institute for College and University Faculty, supported through a National Endowment for the Humanities Grant. The Institute brought together twenty-one faculty and three graduate students from universities across the United States with five faculty conveners for discussions of life and art in Nairobi, Kenya; Accra, Ghana; post-Katrina New Orleans; Lagos, Nigeria; and Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
