This one deserves a link from nmacs: ARTIFICIAL AFRIKA an exhibition that considers contemporary artistic appropriations of African visual culture through mythology, religious traditions, musical forms, and other culturally-specific practices.

Two of the main techniques used by the artists in the exhibit are irony and humor. For me this irony is the technique of using the tools and materials of the "Western World" to tell the story of the "African World," two supposedly separate technologies, even universes, that have, in the telling of an accurate history, really cross-fertilized and enriched each other for centuries...

Between this exhibit and Kwame Anthony Appiah's The Case for Contamination, whats a white guy obsessed with digitizing Indigenous cultures supposed to do?!
