DePaul University Associate Professor Heidi J. Nast's vivid collection of color photos of the Kano Palace of northern Nigeria will be exhibited from Aug. 4 through Oct. 31, at the DuSable Museum of African-American History, 740 E. 56th Pl.
Nast's photography represents a rare opportunity to glimpse what remains of a formidable African palace built in the 16th century in Kano City, which was one of the most important cities on the continent of Africa at that time. The photographic exhibition sheds light on various aspects of centuries-old African-Islamic state practices through visual examination of the connections that remain today.
