Afroblue: The Use of Blue in Contemporary African Art

 → 

What does blue reveal in contemporary African art and its diasporas? Afroblue brings together 38 artists who express their memories, dreams, and stories through the colour blue. Explored as a living material, between sky and sea, blue bodies, ancient gestures, and contemporary forms, blue composes a poetic journey to describe today's world.

Upstairs, carte blanche is given to artist Wim Botha.
