In Memoriam: Prof. Sidney Littlefield Kasfir.

Sidney Littlefield Kasfir


On the 29th of December 2019, the African arts community lost one of its most committed and brilliant scholars, Prof. Sidney Littlefield Kasfir. 

 Sidney occupied a crucial place in the lives and careers of many scholars of her and the following generations.


She was seen last at the Triennial in Ghana in 2017 where ACASA formally recognized her distinguished contributions to the field of global African art as a scholar, teacher, and mentor.

 She will be remembered for her pioneering work on contemporary African art as well as her research among Idoma and related peoples of the Niger/Benue confluence.
