Contemporary African Art is characterised by its great diversity. 54 countries on the continent boast unique talents and sensibilities, notwithstanding leading artists working in the diaspora.
Join us as we highlight artists and discuss contemporary African art, through the lens of two renowned collections: Norval Foundation, Harry David Art Collection and Museum of African Contemporary Art Al Maaden. Hosted by Anaïs Lellouche, our International Curatorial Associate based in London.
