Exhibition Walk-through: “Asafo Flags”
IN PERSON
Meet at the Fowler and join Jeniffer Perales Garcia, manager of K-12 and family programming and bilingual educator, for an exploration of the Fowler’s collection of asafo flags from Ghana. Colorful and conceptually layered, these flags serve as insignia for the historical and still thriving military companies of Fante states in southern Ghana. This gallery engagement is specifically designed for K-12 teachers who wish to return to the museum with their students. Participating teachers will be eligible for a bus scholarship of up to $500.
