Programme
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.
