Africa State of Mind' gathers together the work of an emergent generation of photographers from across Africa, including both the Maghreb and sub-Saharan Africa. It is both a summation of new photographic practice from the last decade and an exploration of how contemporary photographers from the continent are exploring ideas of 'Africanness' to reveal Africa to be a psychological space as much as a physical territory - a state of mind as much as a geographical place. Dispensing with the Western colonial view of Africa in purely geographic or topographic terms, Ekow Eshun presents Africa State of Mind in four thematic parts : Hybrid Cities ; Inner Landscapes ; Zones of Freedom ; and Myth and Memory. Each theme, introduced by a text by Eshun, presents selections of work by a new wave of African photographers who are looking both outward and inward : capturing life among the sprawling cities and multitudinous conurbations of the continent, turning the legacy of the continent's history into the source of resonant new myths and dreamscapes and exploring questions of gender, sexuality and identity. Each of the photographers seeks to capture the experience of what it means, and how it feels, to live in Africa today.

Réunissant près de 300 œuvres d'art, Black Infinity invite à découvrir l'univers fascinant du fantastique noir. Mouvement initié depuis plusieurs décennies par des artistes issus d'Afrique ou de la diaspora africaine, il est porteur de nouvelles visions et de récits inédits s'affranchissant des représentations occidentales du progrès et de la modernité. Ekow Eshun opère ici des rapprochements audacieux entre des formes artistiques aussi variées que la photographie, les arts plastiques, le design, la mode, l'architecture, le cinéma, la littérature et la culture populaire. Ces connexions révèlent l'esprit de liberté qui anime les artistes du fantastique noir et leur énergie émancipatrice pour repenser les notions de race, de genre, d'identité. Ils expriment ainsi les fantasmes d'un futur libéré des oppressions en hybridant histoire, mythe, pratiques spirituelles et mémoire de l'esclavage. Dans un langage visuel euphorisant, Black Infinity met à mal les visions réductrices de l'africanité et projette des modalités stimulantes d'existence et de résistance.
