ATLANTICA: CONTEMPORARY ART FROM MOZAMBIQUE AND ITS DIASPORA

ATLANTICA: CONTEMPORARY ART FROM MOZAMBIQUE AND ITS DIASPORA

Atlantica is a book about contemporary art from Mozambique and its diaspora, The book brings together fourteen visual artists and theoretical essays from curators and academics. Considering the art production of the new millennium in Mozambique, the book reflects the diversity of histories and artistic visions, bringing together a variety of formats and writing genres within the book, which reflects the diversity of the authors’ backgrounds.

Contemporary art practices that have emerged in, or engaged with this region, are in themselves tools of resistance and rebellion, and are, as such, central to the decolonisation strategies that artists have used to understand, analyse and resist the socio-economic impact of everyday events and their own personal realities.
