An unprecedented exhibition exploring the broad spectrum of contemporary African art, design, and craft worldwide, “The Global Africa Project” premieres at the Museum of Arts and Design. Through ceramics, basketry, textiles, jewelry, furniture, and fashion, as well as selective examples of architecture, photography, painting, and sculpture, the exhibition actively challenges conventional notions of a singular African aesthetic or identity, and reflects the integration of African art and design without making the usual distinctions between “professional” and “artisan.” —Museum of Arts and Design
