![]() ![]() ![]() Yet, I find resonances of the contemporary moment in this art historical study of cloth and colonial power. On the face of it, this topic seems a world away from the pandemics of disease and racism we face today. My current book project is focused on textiles and weaving in the French colony of Soudan Français (today Mali) during the interwar period of the 1920s and 30s. Seeing through Cloth: Looms and Power in French Colonial West Africa Professor Rovine is currently an IAH Faculty Fellow. Rovine has conducted research in Mali since the early 1990s, and has also worked in Senegal, South Africa, Ghana, and elsewhere in Africa. Professor Rovine specializes in African art with a focus on African textiles and dress practices, and on Africa’s presence in Western visual culture, particularly in early twentieth-century Europe. Rovine is a Professor of Art History at UNC-Chapel Hill.
