The Clark/Mellon Contemporary African Art Workshop taking place at WITS University gathers artists, art historians, curators, art administrators and art organizations from across the continent and the Diaspora to discuss key issues in art historical scholarship, exhibitions, artistic practices and collaborations within the field of contemporary African art. “New Initiatives in African Art” is a part of our public program, which aims to share the outcomes of the workshop with a broader audience as well as to present new artistic initiatives and trends taking place in African art, on the continent and abroad. It is our hope that the workshop and the public discussion will activate new collaborations, enliven existing networks, and create future projects.
