Diverse and wide-ranging in material, time period, style, and intended use, the objects in Currents span the continent of Africa to explore the importance of water for both practical and artistic purposes. Objects on view include Akan fish-shaped weights for measuring gold dust, figures and masks associated with water spirits, paintings and textile arts, and videos by contemporary artists William Kentridge and Georgia Papageorge.
