Contemporary African art Contested Terrains

 

Dear Friends,

Since the art market is moving I thought you might also be interested in some relevant news about the contemporary african art market and it’s trends.

Contested Terrains features four artists working in Africa who explore and subvert narratives about the past and present. Kader Attia, Sammy Baloji, Michael MacGarry and Adolphus Opara engage with ideas of history and identity that in Africa have long been shaped by the claims and disputes of conflicting ideological and economic interests.
