Renée Stout’s work, currently on display at the Ulrich Museum of Art, has been deeply influenced by her decades of research into the art and traditions of both Africa and African diasporas. To help our audiences better understand the connections that Stout’s work makes, the exhibition, Ghosts, incorporates six objects from the collection of Wichita State University’s Lowell D. Holmes Museum of Anthropology. All six objects come from the Yoruba culture of present-day Nigeria, which historically had a great influence on Black diasporic culture in the Americas and whose art is particularly well represented in the Holmes collection. Rachelle Meinecke is director of the Holmes Museum of Anthropology. Learn about the Yoruba objects included in Renée Stout: Ghosts, as well as other African objects in the Holmes Museum.
