Consider the Seated Couple sculpture of the Dogon culture. Discuss what this work reveals about gender roles and the status of the family within the culture in which it was created
What will be an ideal response?
Complementary gender roles are the subject of the Seated Couple. The sculpture portrays a couple seated side by side on a stool, which links them physically and symbolically. The man is slightly larger and speaks for the couple through his gestures, suggesting concepts of nurturing and procreation, while the female is quiet. The figures are highly conventionalized and abstract, which suggests that the work represents spirits and ideas, not specific people.
