Zaria Art Society
This month, the Routledge Encyclopedia of Modernism honors the 62nd anniversary of the founding of the Zaria Art Society. Members of the Zaria Art Society were concerned with the increasing influence of foreign cultural values and traditions on art in Nigeria, and the consequent erasure or denial of local artistic traditions and ideas. They created works that reflected the diverse cultures of the Nigerian state. Learn more through the selection of free articles below.
Updates to the Routledge Encyclopedia of Modernism - April 2020
The Routledge Encyclopedia of Modernism is updated on a bi annual basis. The latest update adds 10 new articles across four subject areas.
The Routledge Encyclopedia of Modernim is teaming up with the British Association for Modernist Studies (BAMS) and The Modernist Review to develop a collection of teaching materials as part of their Community Resources Pack. Our goal is to curate and maintain a dedicated database of resources developed by scholars working across the broad field of Modernist studies.
Materials will be theme-based, and include bibliographies, reading lists, lesson plans, specific tasks, projects, feedback methods, methodical approaches, reflective pieces and more.
Check out the Teaching Resources page for more infomration, and don't forget to follow @RoutledgeLit and @modernistudies on Twitter for updates!
