EXPLORING WENGER'S AND MALTWOOD'S COSMOGEOGRAPHIC CREATIONS THROUGH DIALOGUE BETWEEN CONTRASTIVE BUT COMPLEMENTARY EPISTEMES

Wenger's and Maltwod's conceptions of the landscape they interpret depict these spaces as embodying cosmographic forms. They both try to lead the audience to a participation in the mysteries the landscapes may reveal, Wenger through her sculptures and Maltwood, through her maps of the landscape.

The blog explores these conceptions of landscape in terms of adialogue between marginalised and dominant hermeneutic forms within and between Africa, the West and Asia. The major hermeneutic forms are the Ifa divinatory system which has its origins with the Yoruba, Western mainstream and esoteric philosophies and Asian philosophy.
