Artists from the vast African diaspora challenging the dominant aesthetic representations of Africa

The visual and textual proposals presented in this book challenge the dominant aesthetic representations of Africa through languages that propose and reimagine a past, a present and a future for the black artistic experience in a transcontinental reality. These are broad proposals that do not aim to illustrate a current or movement, but embrace the creation of fantasies, science-fiction narratives, and discourses where criticism, satire and irony are evident.


This book brings together a significant group of voices from the vast African diaspora that offers dense visual and philosophical thought rich in references to African history, mysticism, mythology, ecology and fictions. Through visual and textual proposals, these voices challenge the dominant aesthetic representations of Africa through languages that propose and reimagine a past, a present and a future for the black artistic experience in a transcontinental reality.
