Art, Architecture, and Design across Africa and within the Diaspora
Where is Africa? is a multi-year and extended set of exchanges with contemporary artists, curators, designers, and academics who are actively engaged in representing the continent of Africa—both within and outside its geographic boundaries. By examining artist collectives, new currents in art history, and the rise of contemporary art festivals in and about Africa from the past ten years, the project aims to decolonize the imperialist foundations of both cultural institutions and their anthropological fascination with African objects, people, and places.
Sep 1, 2018 — Dec 31, 2019
Artists Salome Asega and Delphine Fawundu, along with the curator Niama Safia Sandy, share their work related to representation, decolonization, and artistic practice happening on the continent and in the African diaspora.
