Iwalewahaus, University of Bayreuth, is a place for the production and presentation of contemporary art. By doing exhibitions, academic research and teaching, by taking care of the collection and the archive as well as providing residencies for artists, recent developments in contemporary African and Diaspora culture are presented and refined together with artists and institutions. The mission of Iwalewahaus is to research, document and teach recent African culture. The focus is on visual arts, everyday culture, the media and music. The house provides space for lectures, conferences, concerts, film screenings and readings and is a vivid forum for artists, researchers, students of African studies and the interested public.〔Iwalewahaus. ("Iwalewahaus. Archive Laboratory Utopia" ) Retrieved on 22 August 2014.〕 ==Research and teaching== Most of the Iwalewa-projects are developed in close cooperation with institutions from Africa and Europe and are supported by publications. The focus of the research is contemporary art, popular culture, the media - especially photography - as well as African modernity and museology. The following projects are part of the research: ''Africa Screams – Das Böse in Kino, Kunst und Kult'' (2004); ''Black Paris'' (2006); ''Hidden Pages, Stolen Bodies'' (2009); ''Piga Picha!'' (2008/2010) and ''Iwalewa - Quatre vues de l’Afrique contemporaine'' (2013).〔Pierre-Nicolas Bounakoff, Katharina Greven und Nadine Siegert (Hrsg.): ''Iwalewa – Quatre vues de l’Afrique contemporaine''. Iwalewahaus Bayreuth 2013.〕 The teaching at Iwalewahaus concentrates on four areas: art studies with reference to Africa, aspects of African popular culture, institutionalisation and interaction of art worlds and finally broader questions of the history of media and the study of visual culture. Since 2012 the practise based study program "Art and Curatorial Studies" has been offered as part of the master studies course "Culture and Society in Africa".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Iwalewahaus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
