February 6, 2007 - September 3, 2007

UBC Museum of Anthropology

6393 N.W. Marine Drive, Vancouver, B.C.

 

Opening Reception Tuesday, February 6, 2007, 7:00 pm (free; everyone
welcome)

 

For over a thousand years the Chewa people of Malawi have reaffirmed their
collective voice and identity through the masked spirit dances of Gule
Wamkulu ("the great dance"). Yet, like the Chewa themselves, the community
rituals of Gule Wamkulu have continually re-adapted themselves to changing
forces and events. The most recent of these has been the devastating AIDS
pandemic and its uncompromising sweep across Africa.

 

The Village is Tilting: Dancing AIDS in Malawi incorporates a series of
powerful masks, life-size photographs, video interviews in Chichewa (with
English subtitles), and dance footage to document the depth of awareness and
cultural response to the AIDS pandemic by rural Malawians. More than a
plaintive victim's cry, The Village is Tilting uses elements of Gule Wamkulu
itself - dance, drama, dialogue, and humour - to strip away conventional
images of AIDS to reveal its inextricable links to an interconnected set of
conditions and causes: poverty, gender inequality, and civil justice. 

 

The exhibition is guest curated and assembled by Vancouver-based
photographer Douglas Curran, who has documented the Chewa mask culture for
over ten years. In conjunction with the show, Mr. Curran will speak about
Chewa cosmology Tuesday, February 20 at 7:00 pm at the Museum of
Anthropology.

 

In addition to the videos, photographs, and masks that form the exhibition,
a three-day public Dialogue will examine AIDS in relation to African
education, economic development, representation, and cultural identity.
"Perceptions of Africa: A Dialogue" will take place from March 8-10, 2007.
(For details, see www.moa.ubc.ca/programs.) An educational program for high
school students, "Insight into Africa -  AIDS and Education in Malawi" will
also be presented on March 13, 14, and 16. For information or to book a
class, please contact 604.822.4643 or gtimmers@interchange.ubc.ca.

 

Thanks to exhibition sponsors The Georgia Straight and Deans Knight Capital
Management Ltd.
