Rainforest for Health: A Travelling Expedition
The project is a jointly funded activity by the Centre, GEF/SGP, and the Royal Netherlands Embassy of Ghana to show a travelling exhibition prepared by the Rainforest Medical Foundation (RMF) to a wide spectrum of audience in the southern rainforest region of Ghana. The emphasis of the exhibition is to show the significance of the loss of medicinal plants and diseases of and from deforestation particularly because hitherto not much attention had been given to the impending rainforest “catastrophe”. “It is generally accepted that medicinal plants provide the raw materials for at least 25 % of allotrophic western drugs”. The exhibits travelled to all 7 Regional capitals in the forest zone of Ghana and received high recommendation. Bio

Afforestation and Agroforestry
The project was located in Funsi, on the northwestern border of Mole National Park – Ghana’s premier wildlife park. The park is threatened by deforestation, bushfires, poaching of wildlife and encroachment by fringe communities for farmland. The project worked with 5 communities to reduce the incidence of bushfires and encroachment by assisting communities to develop afforestation and agroforestry plots Bio

The major threat to this ecosystem is deforestation through logging, firewood extraction and shifting cultivation. Project developed a nursery that supplied seedlings to the community for afforestation and agroforestry.Interest in project resulted in seven communities coming together to protect the Buabeng –Fiema Monkey Sanctuary.

Sisters of the Screen: Women of Africa on Film, Video and Television
Beti Ellerson Black Film as a Signifying Practice by Galdstone Yearwood $21.95 BACKCOVER: In Black Film as a Signifying Practice, Galdstone Yearwood explores cinema as part of the black cultural tradition. he argues that black film criticism is best understood as a 20th century development in the history of African-American aesthetic thought, which provides a substantive and accumulative aesthetic and critical tradition for black film studies. The book examines the way black filmmakers use expressive forms and systems of signification that reflect the cultural and historica priorities of the black experience. It delineates howthe African-American expressive tradition utilizes its own vernacular space and time for story telling in the cinema and how black film narration draws on the formal structures of black experience to organize story material.
Yearwood focuses on signifying practices in the cinema and the symbol-producing mechanisms tht inform black fimmaking.The book proves valuable insghts into the narrational processes at work in African-American expressive forms and in black culture. Using the frameworkds of an Afrocentric model, Black Film as a Signifying Practice moves away from a preoccupation with balck film as deefined by the dominant society to emphasize how the expressive startegies and cultural mechanisms that have been critical to black survival influence in black fimmaking.

Exhibition Description:
Art and Life in Burkina Faso, Land of Upright People
Carleton College Art Gallery
April 3 - May 8, 2002 The art works gathered here come from Burkina Faso, the West African nation formerly known as Upper Volta. In 1984, former President Thomas Sankara (1949-1987) renamed the country Burkina Faso, drawing together words from the languages of the country's major populations, the Mossi and the Dyula. Roughly translated, Burkina Faso means "the land of upright people." Located at the southern edge of the Sahara Desert, with national boundaries drawn by the French during the colonial era, many diverse peoples live in this dry, landlocked country, independent since 1960. Burkina Faso's population is made up of more than sixty different ethnic groups. The country's complex cultural diversity is reflected in this exhibition which includes works of art by Bwa, Bobo, Kassena, Lela, Lobi, Mossi, Nuna, Nunama, Toussian, Turka, and Winiama artists. While Burkina Faso is often described as one of the most economically impoverished countries in the world, with an average annual per capita income of between two and three hundred dollars, in terms of cultural traditions, it is one of the richest places on earth. The peoples of Burkina Faso create a wide range of objects, diverse in form, function, size and scale, and employing many different materials and technologies. Within their original contexts, art works are valued not only for their aesthetic qualities, but also for their functional efficacy. In Burkina Faso, art is not just something to look at, but also serves life-sustaining purposes, vital to the well-being of individuals and the larger society.

Introduction Households are commonly excavated by archaeologists. Occurring in association with households, and just as ubiquitous, is the abstraction known as the activity area. Archaeologists make the obvious inference that patterned human behaviors account for activity areas and their distribution within a site; however, the principles governing these patterns have been the goal of considerable theoretical attention. Ethnoarchaeological investigations can contribute to our understanding of the social logic of space in the context of the built environment, and in turn inform archaeological interpretations of household features. Fieldwork in northern Ghana To this end, ethnoarchaeological fieldwork was conducted among the Tallensi of the Tongo Hills-Bolgatanga area in the Upper East Region of Ghana, over a period of three months (May-August 1994). Tallensi architecture was examined in its physical, social, ideological and symbolic aspects. The Tallensi are known ethnographically through the work of Rattray (1932) and Fortes (e.g. 1945, 1969); in particular, social and ideological aspects of Tallensi culture are well documented. This material serves as a backdrop to my understanding of their use of space and the built environment. Thus, a household-centered ethnoarchaeological study was feasible for a single investigator (myself) and a Ghana Museum and Monuments Board representative (Mr. Rowland Caesar Apentiik) in the field for a limited time, and I can situate this work in the context of a rich body of data on Tallensi social and political institutions, among other things.
