Based on the films screened in class and the readings covered till week 7, write an essay on how African films can be viewed as “the night school of the people.” From your perspective, how did African filmmakers try to present histories of African freedom struggles, the emergence of new democracies in Africa, and African postcolonial lives and lifeworlds? How did some historical fiction and newsreel films inform or challenge your understanding of African political history, social practices, and histories? And how were they different from Western systems of representation of Africa and Africans? Please cite at least three-four examples from the films that you have watched in class, and you must also reference at least three texts. You can also mention scenes that have specifically informed or altered your visual perception of Africa.
You are expected to write a well-formulated essay (5-pages double spaced, Times New Roman, size 12, 1-inch margin). Your references and citation will be included in the 6th page. Remember to title your essay

it doesn’t need to be a summary of what the readings are about. I want this to be more of a critical opinion of the readings. It is ok to reference back to the readings but want more of a critical response and probably raised some questions with potential answers. Also, no external sources just the attached files.

Create a multimedia “exhibition” of 5 art works by Native artists or associated with an indigenous group; of your chosen objects, 2 must be historic and 3 should contemporary art works. Your exhibition can be created in Powerpoint, Prezi, or GoogleSlides. Please ensure that you allow everyone to view when creating a link to share.
Each slide of your presentation should include photographs of the works you are “exhibiting”, and for each object there should be a label. Your labels should:
Identify the art work – remember this should be in italics.
Identify the Indigenous culture of the artist or that created the object
Point out any particular parts of the works that the viewer should pay attention to and explain why they matter.
Remember keep your label short. 3-5 sentences
To help you decide on works to include in your exhibition, below is a list of museums whose collections include objects belonging to an Indigenous culture or art works by Native artists.
