Watch online Guy Casely Hayford, "Kingdoms of Africa -‐-‐ Benin." This 48 minute documentary film focuses on the West African kingdom of Benin, renowned for the extraordinary beauty and artistry expressed in bronze. As you watch the film think about Dr Casely Hayford’s concluding point that the people of Benin, like others in Africa, expressed their history through art. Think also about the ways in which you have seen African art displayed in museums that you have visited (or consider whether you have seen any such displays). Have you been to LACMA? How is art from Africa displayed there? For those of you from San Francisco, have you been to the de Young Museum? If so, how was African art displayed there? The Kingdoms of Africa series is a production of the BBC. You can watch the film on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNYfCaRlMy0
