The Shape of Things to Come is a forward-looking exhibition that brings together a diverse group of internationally acclaimed artists whose practices illuminate the complexities of a rapidly changing world.

Let's collaborate

We are always looking for new partnerships that will help us promote African and Afro-descendant artists. We believe in the power of synergies, so if you are an artist yourself, a curator, a gallery, a journalist, or an art institution, talk to us.
