The publication accompanies two exhibitions curated by Simon Njami and presents works by more than sixty internationally renowned artists. The works, some of which have been created specifically for this project, provide a unique overview of the contemporary art scene in Africa, including all media, from painting and photography to video and installation. Divided into two chapters, the first is dedicated to African cities while the second invites readers to a journey to the Cape of Good Hope, the catalogue strives to represent the young and creative art scene of the African continent in all its complexity.
