The Art of Africa: Short Films

These three shorts profile new artists and movements making waves in Africa today. Drawn from a short documentary series produced by the Swedish collective Stocktown, Afripedia: Kenya takes an intimate look at Nairobi’s lively urban culture scene, with interviews with 3D artist Andrew Kaggia and the Afro-futurist Just a Band. Afripedia: Ghana heads to the capital Accra, already whispered about as “the next big thing,” to introduce us to the androgynous music star Wiyaala and the visual artist Afrogallonism. The Prophecy goes behind the scenes of photographer Fabrice Monteiro’s sweeping project on the environment in Senegal.
