Our first edition of the \u2018Collector\u2019s Series\u2019, titled \u2018Artists & Cities\u2019, is a 280-page hybrid magazine featuring sixty artists and collectives from six cities in Africa and five women leaders in the African art world. It brings together a diverse and uncommon range of artistic practices from the continent, expanding what is presented and commonly promoted as African art today. <\/p>\n
Lagos, Accra x Kumasi, Cape Town, Kinshasa, Addis Ababa and Marrakech take centre stage as we examine the relationship between art, artists and cities and show the role of art and artists in city-making, especially in Africa. Each city is a starting point for examining the featured artists\u2019 works and various societal issues. The publication is visually attractive and features contributions by well-known critics and young voices championing art from the continent and the diaspora.<\/p>\n
