African Brilliance Exhibition Catalogue

To accompany African Brilliance: A Diplomat’s Sixty Years of Collecting, an online catalogue was funded as one of the University’s strategic initiative seed grants. The catalogue features interviews with Davis and local residents who have had firsthand experience with the types of objects on view in the exhibition, as well as essays by Dewey, Purdy, and Mary Jo Arnoldi, curator emerita of African ethnology at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.
