Atlantica is a book about contemporary art from Angola and its diaspora, conceived and developed by artists in tandem with theorists, curators and scholars to consider the art production of the new millennium in Angola. The book brings together artists born after Independence, with distinct personal histories, perspectives, and artistic visions. Art practices that have emerged in, or engaged with this region, are in themselves tools of resistance and rebellion, and are, as such, central to the decolonisation strategies that artists have used to understand, analyse and resist the socio-economic impact of everyday events and their own personal realities. Atlantica Talks discusses some of the central themes of the book.<\/p>\n
