• Afro Modern: Journeys through the Black Atlantic
Until 25th April 2010
Tate Liverpool, Albert Dock
Tel: 0151 702 7400, www.tate.org.uk/liverpool

This major exhibition, inspired by Paul Gilroy’s book The Black Atlantic: Modernity and Double Consciousness (1993), is the first to trace in depth the impact of Black Atlantic culture on Modernism and reveals how black artists and intellectuals have played a central role in the formation of Modernism from the early twentieth century to today. From the influences of African art on the Modernist forms of
artists like Picasso, to the work of contemporary artists such as Kara Walker, Ellen Gallagher and Chris Ofili, the exhibition maps out visual and cultural hybridity in modern and contemporary art that has arisen from the journeys made by people of Black African descent.
