| UNIVERSITY AT ALBANY ART PROFESSOR RECEIVES GRANT
SACRED SHRINES AND RITUALS
Phyllis Galembo, associate professor of fine arts at the University at
i Albany, has been awarded a $10,500 grant from the New York State Council on
the Arts in order to prepare for public presentation her documentary
photography and research on the sacred shrines and rituals of Africa and
Brazil.
Professor Galembo spent 1985 on sabbatical leave with the Edo people in
Nigeria. She photographed more than 25 shrines including the Olokun shrines
to the god of the sea. Many of the ancient religious practices documented
by Professor Galembo have evolved into ritual practices of "Santeria" among
| blacks of the Western Hemisphere...In subsequent research, Professor Galembo
has followed the religion as it was spread over the centuries by the slave
; trade including to Bahia in Brazil.
i The grant from the arts council will support the production of large,
high quality prints made for a traveling exhibition from Galembo's
collection of thousands of color slides. The exhibition will include textual
commentary by Visiting Professor Norma Rosen of the University of Benin in
Nigeria.
Robert Farris Thompson, Professor of the History of Art at Yale
University, assessed the importance of Professor Galembo's work in a letter
endorsing her application for the arts council grant. He said: "Long
misunderstood and sensationalized in the American media, the traditional
religions of West Africa are in fact foci of ethics and right living...Ms.
Galembo has penetrated, as no one else I know has, into the very innermost
shrines of one of the strategic cultures of tropical Africa, the Edo of
Nigeria."
Through slide presentations and at a small print exhibition, Professor
Galembo has shown her work from New York to California. The Metropolitan
Museum of Art, the Rockefeller Study Collection, The Rockfeller Foundation
and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture have purchased slides
and prints from her as additions to their permanent collections.
