ANGAZA  AFRIKA: African Art Now

Angaza Afrika,  the Swahili for shed light on Africa, is a statement of this book's mission: to illuminate  Africa' s immensely fertile artistic landscape.

It brings together more than 60 of  Africa' s most creative contemporary artists from across the continent as well as from the African diaspora. It illustrates the diversity and vitality of these artists, whose work leaps off the page in more than 350 colour images. In addition to painters, sculptors, ceramic artists and photographers, there are a number of artists whose work embraces performance and installation.

The following South African artists are featured in the book: Jane Alexander, Willie Bester, Jackson Hlungwani, William Kentridge, David Koloane, Zwelethu Mthethwa, Owen Ndou and Sandile Zulu.
