Nov. 3rd, 2013 15:57Friday November 1, 2013 "There was a time when publications about the Austro-Nigerian Susanne
Wenger fell into two camps. On the one hand, there were those who celebrated Wenger's reshaping of the grove of the Yoruba deity Osun in Osogbo as a pioneering deed that transcended the categories of race and religion and embraced the universality of the sacred. On the other hand, there were the critics who discarded her work as being that of an egomaniac driven by a kitschy modernist spirit with little sensibility for Yoruba aesthetics. Three years after Wenger's death, however, the debate has calmed down. The perception of her has changed. With an annual symposium commemorating and praising her work, the critique has made way for a gradual deification of the artist."
