The Materiality of Everyday Life in Africa: A Multi-Disciplinary Perspective A full-day panel at the 6th Annual Lagos Studies Association Conference Format: Hybrid (In-person, University of Lagos and Virtual) June 21-25, 2022

Panel Organizers: Abidemi Babatunde Babalola (The British Museum) and Vera-Simone Schulz (Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz – Max-Planck-Institut)

The humanities and social sciences have long tried to overcome the dominance of elite discours- es with regard to art, architecture, and the development of complex societies to pay more scholar- ly attention to everyday life across time and space. This panel will contribute to these discussions by centering the materiality of everyday life, the so-called mundane things, in Africa through the perspectives of archaeology, art history and related disciplines. It will shed new light on the inter- section of material culture and the everyday life in various contexts across the continent. It will interrogate the complex relationship between material and visual culture, and architecture and arti- facts not as binaries but as a continuum. Furthermore, the panel will consider the dynamics between tangible and intangible cultural heritage, discuss narratives connected to material cul- ture, examine collective practices, and address the question of displaying the materiality of every- day life in museums, both on the African continent and beyond.
