The Ovahimba Years / Rina Sherman
A Multimedia Ethnography in Namibia and Angola
Exhibition from September 29, 2015 to November 15, 2015 François-Mitterrand / Donors’ gallery
The Ovahimba, a community of cattle farmers, live on both sides of the Kunene River that forms the border between Namibia and Angola. From 1997 to 2004, the ethnographer, filmmaker and photographer Rina Sherman shared the life of an extended family during a fieldwork study of seven years. During this time, she created in-depth documentation of some aspects of their everyday and ritual lives. The archival collection “The Ovahimba Years – Les années Ovahimba”, consisting of several hundred hours of video and sound, thousands of photographs and many notes, composes a unique ensemble of this community, both of universal interest and innovative as an ethnography. Rina Sherman donated it to the BNF in 2014.http://www.bnf.fr/en/cultural_events/anx_exhibitions/f.ovahimba_sherman_eng.html

The War of 1870 and its Reconstruction by the French Media
- Nov 10, 2015 from 2:00pm to 4:00pm EST
- Location: La Maison Française of NYU
- Description:
In light of the understandable current fascination with the centenary of the First World War, we might choose to look back at the cultural responses to the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 to which French and German subjects, citizens and soldiers would have been exposed in the years prior to the Great War. The most popular French fictional evocation of the war was Emile Zola’s La Débâcle (1892), serialized in the press and the most commercially successful of Zola’s novels in his lifetime, but gradually obscured from view in the course of the twentieth century, so particular were the experiences of the new century’s world wars. What this obscuring of 1870 risks, moreover, is a misunderstanding of the origins of the new century’s European project, following the Second World War, which still has at its center the Franco-German relationship. By focussing on a key moment in French cultural memory (the French defense of Bazeilles after their defeat at Sedan in September 1870), we can explore the
