Description
Where Is Africa explores the complex and multifaceted representation of the continent in contemporary art and culture. Through a series of interviews with artists, curators, designers, and academics, this project examines the ways in which African identities and spaces are perceived and represented.
The book delves into the imperialist foundations of cultural institutions and their anthropological fascination with African objects, people, and places. It also addresses Afro-diasporic aesthetic practices and the curatorial, museological, and artistic matrices that confront epistemologies of dominance and exclusion.
Africa is a conceptual place driven by the desire to dislodge it from categorical fixity and the representational logics of nation-states. This project offers a nuanced understanding of the continent's infinite malleability, where place and concept are untethered from each other.
