WEBINAR REGISTRATION
How has the expectation that art from black artists should speak to social issues affected funding the sector? Does Black art have to have a social dimension to be appreciated or must it always be contextual?
We are pleased to share that Addis Fine Art Co-founder Rakeb Sile will be appearing on the panel for 'Can It Just Be Art? Beyond The Expected', an online webinar for the Africa Soft Power Series on Wednesday 19 May at 17:00 BST.
