This exhibition tributes Africa’s vanguard legacy while peering at yet unchartered territories of experience and imagination in the African Diaspora. The exhibition asks How has “Afropolitan” crystallized aspects of our genius? What aspects of our experiences fall outside the Afropolitan gaze? And, of course what comes next, After Afropolitan?
This exhiibition features the work of Derrick Adams, Folasade Adeoso, Selam Bekele, Ifeatuanya Chiejina, Aisha Cousins, Dennis R Darkeem, Awol Erizku, Salym Fayad, Delphine Fuwunde, Miatta Kawinzi, Simone Leigh, Glendalys Medina, Sana Musasama, Nontsikelelo Mutali, Jamilla Okubo, Valerie Piraino, Zina Saro-Wiwa, Sol Sax, Laolu Senbajo, Imani Shanklin, Danny Simons, Vaugn Spann, Cosmo Whyte, Murktarat Yussuff and more.
After Afropolitan is a seductive exploration of the possible, a documentation of the ongoing dialogue between the continent, and her offspring. It locates the meta narratives and metaphors that transform individuals into hybrid-hyphenated global nomads pushing the boundaries of stereotype and expectations.
