Showcasing the work of 50 young artists whose careers were established between 2010 and 2020, this book is an excellent introduction to contemporary African art across the continent, and in the diaspora beyond. New discovery highlights for us: Amoako Boafo’s and Wangari Mathenge’s paintings, and Lebohang Kganye’s photographs; the inclusion of Cinga Samson is a reminder of the breathtaking talent of this young artist.
