ARAK Collection - A Story of Nothingness

This publication foregrouds the physical, historical, spiritual and existential entanglements of contemporary life in Africa. Born of different cultural identities, beliefs and practices, the artworks included enable a dialogue about the complexities that inspire African artists, as well as the ongoing presence of rich and complex traditions in a contemporary world. Through distorted faces and fragmented landscapes, one can get a sense of memory’s haunting presence and the traces of knowledge about these spheres of existence.
