In this talk Duane Jethro explores dynamics of materialising African religion in contemporary art settings. Drawing on examples from Documenta in Kassel and the Zeitz MOCAA in Cape Town, Jethro sketchs a material religion approach to interpreting the curation and display of African religion in contemporary art settings and discuss its significance for the study of religion and art today.

He specialises in the analysis of the cultural construction of heritage, contested public cultures and material religion. He is an editor of the journal Material Religion and serves on the editorial board of the journal Museums and Social Issues.
