The opportunity to revisit a theme taken on at Art Deco Weekend 1996 while she was a PhD candidate at Princeton University, Vendryes is taking a close look at what she shared then and what research and writing about African art as an inspiration for Art Deco design has become available since. Writers have revealed, over these 23 years, how aesthetics of what was considered “The Dark Continent” is reflected in objects and images that significantly mark the era.
