A*Magazine: *Art *Africa *Analysis
2017
Basel has a longstanding connection with Africa and its university is the leading hub for African Studies in Switzerland today. This engagement with Africa is not limited to the University of Basel but is deeply rooted in society. A great number of people in this town engage with Africa and provide the critical mass that allows for anchoring the academic focus on Africa in the wider society. The programme presented in this A* Magazine demonstrates how fruitful this relationship between academy and society is, and how important it is to go beyond the pursuit of scientific knowledge, reach out and engage with society, and extend the engagement with the continent to the arts. The Centre for African Studies Basel as initiator of the Africa focus presented in this publication wishes you an exciting and enriching experience. We look forward to seeing you at one or the other event and extend a big thank you to all who contribute to the programme and made it possible.
