Project a Black Planet: The Art and Culture of Panafrica
Until Sep 6
First major survey of Pan-Africanism's influence on visual art, 1920s–now
"But the exhibition does not sing. It spits out theory instead. Every section is framed as an essay, with artworks chosen to illustrate an argument: one bay is based around the ideas of sociologist Stuart Hall, which the works don't seem to illustrate anyway. This is a show that wants to conjure up a utopian place, Panafrica, and make it real, which would be a powerful piece of political enchantment."
