Contemporary African Art since 1980, 2009

The first major survey of the work of more than 200 contemporary African artists.

Contemporary African Art Since 1980, is the first major survey of the work of more than 200 contemporary African artists from diverse situations, locations, and generations who work either in or outside of Africa, but whose practices engage and occupy the social and cultural complexities of the continent: from the end of the postcolonial utopias of the sixties during the 1980s to the geopolitical, economic, technological and cultural shifts incited by globalization.
