We are delighted to have you join us on an on line exhibition
preview, just for students like yourself. Pick up your pass for
two—it will be much more interesting if you bring a friend along.
You’ll want to discuss much of what you’re about to learn, and
it’s much simpler to have a partner right there to share the visit
with you.
You’ll have a chance to visit the exhibition, meet some of the
featured artists and their works, and then join the exhibition
planning team to decide where a few chosen works might be placed
in the exhibition.
On your journey we will introduce you to Islam
in West Africa, to the Sufi
movement within Islam, to the Mourides
and their beliefs, and to Amadu Bamba,
an African Sufi saint.

of the terms in that last sentence may be new to you, and if so,
let us explain them. Just click on an unfamiliar term in the glossary
and a short definition will be shared with you.
