‘Project a Black Planet: The Art and Culture of Panafrica’

Pan-Africanism. The first major international exhibition to trace the cultural manifestations of Pan-Africanism from the 1920s to the present day.

The exhibition ‘Project a Black Planet: The Art and Culture of Panafrica’ considers the art of the African diaspora as the key to a series of aesthetic exchanges, an ongoing dialogue between the artistic production of the African continent and works produced by Black and Afro-descendant communities across the globe.

While Pan-Africanism aspires to transnational and planetary solidarity, the exhibition also includes experiences and manifestations conditioned by contextualised visions that are not always aligned.

The MACBA proposes a curatorial narrative based on interconnected themes that trace the foundations of Pan-Africanism, the aesthetics of Negritude, representation, the weight of religious and animist traditions, forms of public protest, and the anti-racist and civil rights movements.

The result is a collection of pieces of different media and materials that, without hierarchy, showcases the fine art, music and vernacular or popular culture of Africa, Brazil, the Caribbean, North America and western Europe. It also includes visual and sound objects that are displayed in dialogue with political texts and proclamations.
