Contemporary art enthusiasts and professionals alike can now subscribe to the modern digital archive of ART AFRICA, a quarterly publication that reports on the latest developments around contemporary art from Africa and the diaspora. The new cutting-edge archive, which dates back to 2017, was created in partnership with digital archiving experts Exact Editions and is accessible seamlessly across web, iOS and Android devices.

Founded in 2002, ART AFRICA writes art history from an African perspective. Through intellectual dialogue and discourse on the internationalism and multiculturalism of the arts from Africa, the title facilitates an easier navigation of the cultural and language differences of the continent. Every issue comprises insightful positioning pieces, in-depth interviews, features, profiles and reviews.
