HOW TO USE THE GREAT PAST TO EMPOWER A BETTER TOMORROW?
Our purpose is to show the crucial influence of African humanities at the
opening of the 20th century, and furthermore, how to use this legacy of
enlightement as raw materials in the quest of new waves of creativity during
the present shift to the next century.
ART, ARCHITECTURE AND SOCIETY: Whatever its form may be, a work of art
is considered as a scuttle which man can contemplate infinity. It is the
advanced knowledge of what is taught through nature and appearances.
AFRICA HOLDS THE FIRST WRITING SYSTEMS IN THE WORLD:
four different concepts are used to translate sign into graphics: bummo/prime
sign - tonu/concept - yala/symbol - toymu/graphics.
The graphics constitute a teaching: the abstract sign addresses the person
in the know, the graphics addresses the neophyte. Thus knowledge of elements
of the creation comprise not only current knowledge of signs, but also
that of elements which constitute them.
