Guest curator Margaret Nagawa and host Gianofer Fields discuss the Insistent Presence exhibition, touching on the challenges of classifying African art, colonization, commodification, the relationship between artist and culture, and much more.
Above all, Nagawa says, "It's important that we walk through the doors of the Chazen Museum of Art with an open heart. The idea that Africa is so far away, it's so remote from our understanding, should be left outside the doors."
Meet Me at the Chazen is a podcast about the the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Chazen Museum of Art, the largest collecting museum in the Big Ten. As we report what’s happening here, we'll also explore what it means to be an art museum at a public university and how art museums can help enrich and strengthen the communities they serve. Meet Me at the Chazen theme and incidental music is “Swinging at the Pluto Lounge,” composed and performed by Marvin Tate and friends, and is used with permission of the artists.
