Likewise, we have seen innovative solutions from art galleries as they move to online exhibitions, or from theatre companies. </span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom:.0001pt">	 </p><p>	<strong>Register for the webinar:</strong> https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Cy_a3e4tR1KuEjK6TDUm4g</p><p>	<strong>This webinar will be livestreamed on Facebook:</strong><br><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.facebook.com_HarvardAfricanStudies_live-5Fvideos_&amp;d=DwMFaQ&amp;c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&amp;r=CMQcXc7TsESFtLssb1xDWTOq2MUFzosRjeCRPe6U03Y&amp;m=K1bEc3EntouOlIwpscqMW_o_y7lHf1b2nYPlLQ3nhmo&amp;s=XpaguJS8cLfcLNtRIRdY2urpA7EcQjdhTujkjkTZuKg&amp;e=" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/HarvardAfricanStudies/live_videos/</a></p><p>	<strong>Panelists:</strong></p><ul>	<li>		<strong>Michael Armitage</strong>, Artist, Nairobi, Kenya	</li>	<li>		<strong>Janine Gaëlle Dieudji</strong>, Exhibitions Director, Museum of African Contemporary Art Al Maaden, Marrakech, Morocco	</li>	<li>		<strong>Gabrielle Goliath</strong>, Artist, Johannesburg, South Africa	</li>	<li>		<strong>Azu Nwagbogu</strong>, Founder and Director, African Artists’ Foundation, Lagos, Nigeria	</li>	<li>		<strong>Shakil Solanki,</strong> Artist, Cape Town, South Africa	</li>	<li>		<strong>Moderated by Elana Brundyn</strong>, Chief Executive, Norval Foundation	</li></ul><p>	 </p><p>	--</p><p>	The Harvard University Center for African Studies in partnership with the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) is hosting a series of webinars on the topic of COVID-19 and Africa.
