Contemporary African art is creative work from the recent past and present day. Its sources are rooted in precolonial, colonial, and postcolonial history. It is important to take into account the precursors of the 1930s, as they introduced openness towards traditional ‘tribal’ arts. The term ‘contemporary art’ emerged in the 1960s and encompasses the diversity of the continent’s artistic output.
Contemporary African artists use various media, including painting, sculpture, photography, installation, and video. They may be self-taught, trained in collective workshops, or academically trained at an art school or a national or international university. They address social and political issues and are committed to community values. Their work is characterized by freedom of expression, means of production, and hybridization.
It is impossible to define ancient African art in just a few lines. Its forms and periods span a long period of history, and there is no simple way to categorize it.
We perceive and classify secular and sacred objects as an ancient, traditional, secular art expressed through various forms, signs, and materials. These bear witness to the life of Africans on the African continent for millennia. They demonstrate a part of their modern vision of the world: social and societal life, science, intellectual reflections, philosophical reflections, and the religious spirituality of its populations.
