SALEM, Ore. (AP) — A professor at Willamette University will be visiting Namibia this summer for the State Department.
Andries Fourie, an assistant professor of art at Willamette University, will serve as a cultural envoy to the African country. He will lead two, weeklong workshops to teach art students and extension officers how to use recycled materials in sculpture.
Fourie is an Afrikaner, a white South African of Dutch descent. He creates art from found objects and hopes to give Namibians a way to express themselves using readily available objects.
