THE STORY, IN BRIEF
ART AFRICA reported on the Metropolitan Museum’s Africa & Byzantium, a nearly 200-work exhibition tracing artistic exchange across northern and eastern Africa. Nubian wall paintings, Coptic manuscripts and Ethiopian icons challenged the treatment of Africa and Byzantium as separate histories. Contemporary works by Tsedaye Makonnen and Theo Eshetu extended the inquiry into memory and historical interpretation, connecting medieval objects with present-day African artistic thinking.
