Beaded Art Exhibition - comes to Tempe Public Library

March 04 , 2005

An exhibition featuring beaded artwork of the Kuba and Yoruba
tribes of Africa will be on display in the Tempe Public Library,
lower level gallery from March 11 through June 19.

The artwork and sacred objects of the Kuba & Yoruba peoples of
Africa are covered in beaded, geometric designs. Analogies
drawn from these symbols express tribal beliefs and record
interpretations of the natural world that surrounds and sustains
the daily life of the people.

The exhibition is being presented in cooperation with the Bead
Museum in Glendale, and features work by students at Tempe's
Meyer Elementary School, who participated in the museum's
integrated arts and literacy program.
