Global Africa Project challenges boundaries between art, design and craft
Rachel Wetzler reviews The Global Africa Project at New York’s Museum of Arts and Design, which brought together artists and makers connected to Africa and its diasporas. She praises the exhibition’s thematic pairing of textiles, furniture, photography and other forms for challenging artistic hierarchies. The review also questions its treatment of corporate branding and argues that its strongest achievement is resisting a single definition of African creativity.
