Benin Kingdom Art and Celebrations

December 30, 2018 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

AiB is proud to announce our partnership with the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. The purpose of the relationship is to provide educational, social and cultural opportunities for the African Diaspora communities in Boston and the surrounding areas. AiB will collaborate and share information on new and preexisting events.

In honor of Igue, an annual celebration of thanksgiving and the new year, join the Benin Community Coalition for a tour of the gallery. Led by Kathryn Gunsch, Teel Curator for African and Oceanic Art, the tour focuses on historical masterpieces of Benin art and their connections to the vibrant life of the kingdom and its diaspora today.
