Exhibition Poster / Black Modernism / A1

January 29 - May 1, 2022

In the exhibition, which consists of more than 80 exhibits, the works of indigenous artists from various African ethnic groups met painting, sculpture, graphics, photography and film from classical modern Europe and African contemporary art. The show made it possible to experience the diverse style repertoire of African art and its reception in Cubism, Dadaism and Surrealism. In addition, exemplary positions by contemporary artists such as Chéri Samba, Maître Syms, Gonçalo Mabunda or John Edmonds were presented, whose works critically reflect on the European avant-garde and how they deal with African art.
