How Portraiture Shapes Africa’s Political Story At MoMA
An Exhibition With A Clear Purpose: The Museum of Modern Art presents Ideas of Africa: Portraiture and Political Imagination as an exhibition that examines how African artists use portraiture to explore power, identity, and history. Rather than focusing on a single country or time period, the exhibition brings together works that reflect many experiences across the African continent and its global connections. The goal is to show how portraits can shape political ideas, not just record faces.
