Afro-Atlantic Histories
Afro-Atlantic Histories is a colossal and panoramic collection of more than 400 works by more than 200 artists from Africa, the Americas and the Caribbean, as well as Europe, from the 16th to the 21st century that expresses and analyzes the ebbs and flows of a geography lacking precise borders, a fluid field where African experiences invade and occupy other nations, territories, and cultures.
Named one of the best books of 2021 by Artforum, Afro-Atlantic Histories is a much-needed feast of images and ideas, an education spanning centuries and involving millions of people. It is both fiction and nonfiction, personal, political, economic, and cultural, and even mythological.
