The exhibition linked to the conference aims to showcase the deep cultural embeddedness of ancient Egypt in Africa, beyond merely acknowledging its geographical position on the African continent. What did Egypt owe to other African cultures in Nubia and, inversely, what did it bequeath to them? The exhibition demonstrates the complex interaction of different cultures in Egypt and Nubia, from prehistory (ca. 3800 BCE) through the Post-Meroitic era (641 CE). To do so, it taps into the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, as well as several university museums (ISAC at the University of Chicago, P. Hearst Museum at UC Berkeley, Fowler Museum at UCLA, Yale Peabody Museum, Johns Hopkins Archaeological Museum, Fleming Museum of Art at the University of Vermont, and the Art Museum at the University of Memphis). Currently on display through May 31, 2026.
