What is Africa ArtBox?
Contributing to the creation of an environment more convenient to research and experimentation of new esthetic languages originating from the new media in Africa and supporting artists of the continent in the construction of a structured, evolving career, in the global dynamics of exchange and interdisciplinary collaborations at the regional and international level, such is the challenge of Africa Artbox.
It is the challenge of every artist to decode their world and to witness time.
