Holland Cotter (in the New York Times) on the exhibit Flow at the Studio Museum in Harlem till June 29:
Afropolitanism is the modish tag for new work made by young African artists both in and outside Africa. What unites the artists is a shared view of Africa, less as a place than as a concept; a cultural force, one that runs through the world the way a gulf stream runs through an ocean: part of the whole, but with its own tides and temperatures.
Featured are the work of Thando Mama, Mustafa Maluka, Otobeng Nkanga, Thierry Fontaine, Latifa Echakhch, Modou Dieng, Elias Sime, Joël Andrianomearisoa, Olalekan B. Jeyifous, and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye.
