Making Africa – A Continent of Contemporary Design |
Until 21 February 2016
GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM BILBAO | BILBAO, SPAIN |
Making Africa sheds new light on Africa through the work of 120 contemporary artists and designers, who illustrate how design accompanies and drives political, economic, social, cultural, and technological change on the continent. |
The exhibition focuses on a new generation of African entrepreneurs, thinkers, and designers - "digital natives" who offer the world a new perspective on their continent. Their works provide concrete answers to the question of what 21st century design can and should achieve, establishing connections between the digital revolution and our analogue existence, radically rethinking materials, concentrating on society rather than the market, and making bold statements about the future. |
