Synopsis

In this publication, artworks are looked at as an expression and documentation of one’s experiences. The layers that make up an artwork overlap, just as much as the make-up of one’s personality. The conversation put forth focuses on both the subject matter of each artist and the languages and artistic vocabulary used. The publication also provides examples of artworks where iconography that is foreign (to the artist) can be used to express something familiar, such as one’s traditions or history, and vice versa. It provides a new narrative to understand the art of Africa in a world that is constantly exchanging thoughts and ideas.
