noon-8 p.m. Wed., n00n-5 p.m. Thur.-Sun. Oct. 21-Feb. 10. The Fowler Museum at UCLA presents the first major traveling exhibition dedicated to the arts of the Swahili coast. More than 150 artworks from Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania, Oman, and Yemen (many shown in America for the first time) demonstrate how the region is a vibrant site of cultural convergence and illuminate Africa’s contributions to the artistic vocabulary of the wider Indian Ocean world. Organized into six thematic sections, this exhibition (which should be suitable for all ages) takes visitors into the streets and homes of Swahili port towns and beyond, highlighting the arts of diplomacy and trade, the built environment and domestic interiors, society and fashion, and spiritual knowledge and devotion.
