Showcasing the work of over 120 artists and designers, the exhibition illustrates how design accompanies and fuels economic and political change on the continent. Africa is presented as a hub of experimentation generating new approaches and solutions of worldwide relevance - and as a driving force for a new discussion of the potential of design in the twenty-first century."--Publisher description.
