QUOTATION # 3

“………I have always looked at contemporary African art, not as a monolithic block of similarities but as a multiplicity.

I went into this particular field precisely to understand that multiplicity and how to grapple with that multiplicity—how to make a coherent intellectual argument about the necessity of developing something called contemporary African art.

That means that it is both bounded and unbounded.

Bounded within the terrain that we consider African but unbounded because the journeys that African artists have made across the world, as many individuals with many interests.”
