“Celebrating Fathers & Father Figures” Workshop

Continuing the theme of celebration, The Savannah African Art Museum will hold a Father’s Day-inspired event, sharing the history of King Ibrahim Njoya, ruler and perceived father figure of Bamum in Western Cameroon from 1895 to 1933.
He created and implemented a writing system to preserve his people’s language during the colonial era and beyond. Workshop participants will make and decorate frames provided by the museum for a 4” by 6” image that attendees will bring of their father or father figure.
All workshops are free and will be held on the second floor of the museum’s Upbeat Village Terracotta Gallery unless otherwise stated. Please note that it is stair access only, with no elevator or wheelchair access available for the 2nd floor. However, the Terracotta Gallery located on the first floor has full access as does the main museum which has an outdoor lift and indoor elevator. Registration is required via the museum’s website,  www.savannahafricanartmuseum.org.
