52 African & Diaspora Artists — A Year of Black Voices, Visions and Futures Guided Journal

A year of Black voices, visions and futures — from Harlem to Johannesburg, Lagos to London.

Travel through fifty-two weeks with artists from Africa and its far-flung diasporas, whose work stretches from Harlem Renaissance murals and independence-era modernism to radical sculpture, photography and painted futures. You will meet painters, printmakers, weavers, performance artists and city-dreamers who have used colour, bodies, language and memory to challenge the stories empire told about them — and to write new ones of their own.

This is not a survey of African art history. It is a year-long encounter with creativity as resistance, joy, mourning and imagination — across continents and generations. Each week brings you closer to an artist and a world that deserves far more than a footnote.

By the end of the year, you will see the full breadth of what Black artistic vision has made possible — and why it matters now more than ever.

Short stories, deep looking, personal reflection

Each week pairs a short feature story with close-looking prompts and gentle reflection cues, inviting you to see each work not just as a masterpiece, but as part of a wider struggle for freedom, joy, mourning and imagination across continents and generations.
