Edo Dijksterhuis reviewed the exhibition ‘What About Africa? 14 contemporary African artists’, organized by Africanah.org and Witteveen Visual Art Centre in Amsterdam. He calls the works  top-notch but the concept of the exhibition highly problematic. “…..in this show they (the different countries) appear lumped together as if Africa were a homogeneous “country”—as it still is in many people’s minds.”

To stimulate the dialogue around this kind of exhibitions, we reprint his review on Africanah.org.
