Project a Black Planet: The Art and Culture of Panafrica

Since being coined around 1900, the term “Pan-Africanism” has stood for the liberation of and solidarity between for black peoples worldwide, as well as fostering the ideals of diversity, dialogue and egalitarianism. Focusing on the movement’s cultural expression and created to accompany a travelling exhibition that has been on display at the The Art Institute of Chicago and MACBA in Barcelona (and is due to travel to further museum venues although unfortunately, not to any based in Africa) this book presents a rich selection of Pan-Africanism’s creative forms. Featuring a wide range of cultural artefacts from fine artworks to magazine covers, posters for film festivals, record album art and street photographs, Project a Black Planet is both a documentary treasure trove and an endless source of inspiration and delight.
