Book of the Month

African Artists

This book surveys over a century of modern and contemporary African art and artists. Unprecedented in its scope and ambition, it is bound to elicit vigourous conversation about the idea of art, Africa, and modernity, but also of the place of the continent, its people, and their cultural production during the age of colonization and the in the years since.

Available at our library.

"The new library with a wider variety of books and magazines offers us the opportunity to improve our German. I am also impressed by the e-library. It helps us learn German on the go and practice our listening and reading skills even when offline which makes learning even more fun!"
