Africa Universe | Chapter 1
Text introduction to the catalog:
During the last two decades there has been a rise of interest in the work of contemporary African artists, who eventually became a solid part of the global artistic community. We have recently recognized and became conscious of the ‘Africa Universe’ – a kaleidoscopic universe able to speak to the whole world, even if built from complex visual and cultural codes. Once on the margins of the mainstream narratives, today, the work of African artists is featured in the evolving discourse of contemporary art. From publications to biennales and exhibitions in the most prestigious museums, from academic research to new curatorial methodologies and programs, from auction houses to commercial art galleries - the world’s attention has been focused on Contemporary African Art.
