Black Crafts
The Black crafts primarily makes anything that
requires a high degree of skill to do. Since this
is so prevalent in our society, the vast majority
of 'art' has become a craft. May we conclude from
this that a "craft" can be called an "art form"?
One that will, I doubt, be debated incessantly
for the rest of time!

One of the many difficulties Africa is dealing
with today is how to preserve its indigenous
crafts while also embracing the logic of the
First World's technology. What matters most is
making sure the communities benefit while keeping
their African Culture simultaneously. He
persuaded the then governors of Lagos, West
Africa, to create the Institute of West African
Arts, Industries and Social Sciences, which he
envisioned as a "marriage of creative skill and
power with modern technique." Meyerowitz was an
artist and teacher. The project aimed to
investigate local arts and crafts, educate
certain African traditions in the context of
European experience, and establish local craft
companies. Among other things, it would examine
the area's history, tribal customs, religion, and
economic conditions. As a whole, it was a great
idea with good intentions and an appreciation for
the need for a social framework that blended and
fused the two cultures.
