Title: | From apprenticeship to freedom : an analysis of art workshop trends in Africa | Authors: | Adewumi, Kehinde Christopher | Keywords: | Apprenticeship;Freedom;Analysis;Trends;Art;Workshop | Issue Date: | 2019 | Publisher: | Durban University of Technology | Source: | Adewumi, K.C. 2019. From apprenticeship to freedom: an analysis of art workshop trends in Africa. African Journal of Inter/Multidisciplinary Studies. 1(1): 97-108. doi:10.51415/ajims.v1i1.816 | Journal: | African Journal of Inter/Multidisciplinary Studies; Vol. 1, Issue 1 | Abstract: | This paper focuses on the dynamic trends in the establishment and operation of art workshops in Africa. Workshop here does not refer to the space in which an artist produces their work; rather, it connotes a collaborative and interactive platform on which artists come together as peers, regardless of age, gender, social status and professional qualification, to share ideas and/or produce art. Thus, several artists have, through such platforms, fostered professional relationships, pushed their creative boundaries, as well as encountered and explored new materials, techniques and contexts. However, fundamental changes have occurred over the years in the operational methodologies of these art workshops, from the colonial era to the contemporary period. Adopting the postcolonial approach, this paper examines the shift in the operational aim and approach of these art workshops. The paper also considers the creative implications of such shifts in trends. |
