Students of ARTS 211: Basic Art and Technology will be taking a trip to The New Museum to see the Pipilottia Rist exhibition. Students will be engaging with the Pipilotti Rist exhibition and answering questions about how the artist’s work relates to their current project. Having access to relevant, prestigious arts allows students to get a better sense oft he connection between an artist’s practice and his or her resulting body of work. This opportunity is invaluable to students who are still forming their own methods for investigation and visual problem-solving.

This event is open to students of ARTS 211 only.

PASTOR PAUL explores the remarkable confluence of New African Cinema, Christianity and Witchcraft; and undermines the classic symbolic imagery of the “white-man” in Africa, whether he be tourist, missionary, actor, or ghost.

Filmed in Ghana and Nigeria in 2013 on a micro-budget, Pastor Paul was the result of a guerilla-style international co-production with Pidgen Films. Pastor Paul also features performances by Edi Osei and Kwame Owusu.

Nollywood recently surpassed the United States in annual film productions, making Nigeria the second largest entertainment industry in the world. Since its inception in the early 1990s, many Nollywood films have been about witchcraft and Christianity and the disparity between rural and urban life in Africa. These narratives are relevant to contemporary Africans and the style has spread all over the continent. Pastor Paul is an homage to the spirit and the spirits of Nollywood’s self-determined narratives.
