Conversation with El Anatsui @ NPR
"In
Africa, we do art for contemplation only," he says. "There is music that
you don't dance to; you listen to it. There are people who appreciate the art
for its own sake."
“Every one of
us has an artist in us. Really, some might be asleep and some are fully awake,
you know. So I think I have a kind of commitment to waking up some people in
whom it is asleep. Teaching, my work is still teaching.”
