Public Tour

Featuring the work of over 120 artists and designers, Making Africa: A Continent of Contemporary Design showcases how African design accompanies and fuels economic, social, and political change in the continent. Through sculpture, prints, fashion, furniture, film, photography, apps, maps, digital comics, and more, the exhibition presents Africa as a hub of innovation.

Join us for a public tour to learn more about how a generation of entrepreneurs, thinkers, and designers are breaking conventional barriers and expanding the potential of design in the twenty-first century.

Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the start of the tour. Our tours can accommodate large groups, but we encourage you to check-in with our Visitor Services Desk to secure your place.
