Africa, Imagined: Reflections on Modern and Contemporary Art

Africa Imagined uses a uniquely curated combination of loans and works from the KIA’s collection to juxtapose mostly West African works of art with European and American modern and contemporary works. The exhibition features works by artists such as Romare Bearden, Beatrice Bassette, El Anatsui, Fred Wilson, Bruce Onobrakpeya, and Lamidi Fakeye to  explore three key themes: escapism, social inquiry, and cultural reclamation.
