African lights

This unprecedented work proposes a wide panorama of contemporary African art, highlighting the cultural vibrancy, dynamism, and creativity that infuse the continent's vast artistic scene, from South Africa to the Maghreb. In these pages, over eighty artists explore all domains of creation - painting, sculpture, photography, video, installation - to reveal stunning works from an Africa that is multiple, yet unique. While expressing their singularities and diverse cultural identities, they deliver a universal message of freedom through art.

The two specialists who have co-authored this book, André Magnin and Mehdi Qotbi, have dedicated their lives to art. Thanks to their voices, and those of artists from across the continent, Africa is heard around the world.
