Hailing from diverse regions across the continent, African and African diasporic galleries are taking center stage at Art Basel Miami, fostering essential dialogue in the art world.
“Africa has always been and continues to be a major catalyst for incredible ideas around art and aesthetics,” explains Koyo Kouoh, executive director and chief curator of Zeitz MOCAA. “Connecting creative practices by artists in Africa with those of its vast diaspora traces important dialogues of past and present.”
Historically, Black diaspora artists in the United States were largely overlooked, and accessing art from outside the country was a pursuit reserved for the most adventurous.
