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.
