At the heart of the evening was a thought-provoking discussion led by renowned writer and cultural critic Ashraf Jamal, on the launch of the book, African Art: The ARAK Collection. The book offers a profound exploration of the stories, heritage, and artistic significance of the remarkable ARAK Collection, highlighting the power of visual storytelling in preserving history and identity.
The event also spotlighted A Reinvented Vocabulary: A Selection of Works from The Kilbourn Collection and The Caro Wiese Collection, showcasing an eclectic mix of pieces that redefine artistic expression and the evolving language of African art. Together, these collections underscore the profound impact of art in shaping cultural dialogue and creative reinvention.
Moments like these not only celebrate artistic excellence but also strengthen the voices that work tirelessly to preserve and elevate Africa’s creative legacy.
A heartfelt thank you to all who joined us in making this event a memorable one. Until the next celebration of art and culture!
