Artwork by 20 award-winning African and Afro-American artists spotlights the need for greater racial diversity in art institutions

This publication presents a multifaceted vision of Africa that transcends historical borders. The book revolves around the impact of curatorial voices in the contemporary art world, particularly with regard to the inclusion and representation of African and Afro-American artists. Three curators--Armelle Dakouo, Allison Glenn and Jeanne Mercier--explore these notions by highlighting the practices of some 20 artists. This year's publication serves as a direct link between the 8th edition of the Also Known As Africa (AKAA) fair in Paris and the next curated exhibition to be held in Los Angeles in May 2024.
Artists include: Alice Mann, Maymouna Baradji, Angelo Dakouo, Abdesslem Ayed, Les soeurs Chevalme, Cosmo Whyte, Fahamu Pecou, Troy Makaza, Julien Creuzet, Cassio Markowski, Georgina Maxim, Teresita Fernandex, Adama Sylla, Theresah Ankomah, April Bey, Didier William, Ruth Owens, Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons.
