Some of us are just older and our knees creak when we do the Keith Haring moves. This week my students will be looking at a fabulous Nigerian appliqued wall hanging, circa 1960, that I saw in the Girard collection at the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe last August.
The music that pops into my mind when I look at the Nigerian wall hanging is from the 2003 animated feature film, The Triplets of Belleville! I think it's all in the elbow moves of the dancers. Paper dolls meet bendable Barbie and do the Watusi.
