The definitive and debut publication of the Qatar-based ARAK Collection - home to 4000 works from Sub-Saharan African artists.

The book features over 200 curated artworks from the collection and serves as both an essential framing text for the ARAK Collection, and a comprehensive overview of contemporary art from the continent. Through the ARAK Collection, one is able to gain a dynamic, collective vision of Africa. A book in three parts, each with a contextual essay by art critic and cultural theorist Ashraf Jamal, the publication also features short, informative texts on each artist written by curator and researcher Nneoma Angela Okorie, and art historian and writer Barnabas Ticha Muvhuti. Through considered curation and engaging prose, African Art: The ARAK Collection places African art, and indeed the continent itself, at the centre of the world, and demonstrates why the rest of the globe is beginning to shift its focus toward African artists.
