Making Africa – A Continent of Contemporary Design is opening on October 30 at the Guggenheim in Bilbao, Spain.
The exhibition will span from the post-colonial to the contemporary era. It won’t only be limited to art: furniture design, fashion and film will also come into play.
‘The show exhibits work from a diverse range of creative fields: object and furniture design graphic arts, illustration, fashion, architecture, urban planning, craft, film, photography, as well as digital and analogue approaches; these works demonstrate the political, economic, social, cultural, and technological transformation of the continent.’
Here’s a selection of work that will be on display:
