What is African rock art?

[@liamlime]

Awesome video, British Museum. I really hope lots of people see this and your other videos.

I believe this is the first time I've ever heard anyone suggest boredom as an impetus for creative expression.

[@CarterKey6]

Yes exactly very important because where makes a difference but that’s apparently racist so shhh

[@GrimNHTl]

If they are all on your hard drive, then you need to make a web site that allows the audience to view them all. I would definitely want to peruse that database.

Hard rock forever! Hard African rock forever… Heavy metal forever! Heavy metal African tools, which carved Hard African rock - forever…

Thank you very much for this perfect video♡

Hi, thanks for posting this interesting video. I will soon be finishing my BA, in which I specialise in art history. Looking ahead, I very much want to study rock art as part of an MA. I have been interested in aesthetics and visual hermeneutics for some time, and certainly more so after reading Contested Images, by Thomas A Dowson and Davis Lewis-Williams some years ago. I have contacted various institutions and individuals to find who might offer such study, but it seems that the few that have responded see this solely as an Archaeological topic, not even an anthropological one. Is this your experience also, or do you know of any body that deals with this, as a module for study under the heading of art history? Thank you for your help. I`ve decided that I will flood the internet with this request, in order to get to the bottom of the problem.

Watch a short interview of David Pearce, Director of the Rock Art Research Institute of Wits University (Johannesburg), about the future of rock art research in South Africa: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3zQpJ6CpsSKkKs Fascinating challenges for the future!

Sagucu Tegin, a quick google search would have kept you from writing this comment.

Why should the British Museum be interested in hiring a White American female under thirty-years-of-age?

In Africa we don't believe, we know what we know

[@ingermimi]

Boredom? Why not playfulness and creativity?
