Curators: Tandazani Dhlakama, Koyo Kouoh
How have artists from the African continent and its diaspora experienced everyday life over the last 100 years, and how have they dealt with it artistically? To answer this question, the team led by Koyo Kouoh, Director and Chief Curator of Zeitz MOCAA in Cape Town, South Africa, undertook intensive research. The result is a comprehensive exhibition featuring works by some 120 artists: a kaleidoscope devoted to African figurative painting over the last 100 years. The result is a groundbreaking exhibition that begs to be seen - and which will find its way to the Kunstmuseum Basel in 2024.
