Project a Black Planet: The Art and Culture of Panafrica - MACBABarcelona Art Season, Exhibitions
11/05/2025 - 04/06/2026

MACBA presents Project a Black Planet: The Art and Culture of Panafrica, an international exhibition that explores the cultural manifestations of Pan-Africanism from the 1920s to the present day. Through more than 350 pieces by around a hundred artists from 80 countries in Africa, America and Europe, this exhibition explores the influence this movement has had on the fine arts, music, literature and politics.

Co-produced with the Art Institute of Chicago and in collaboration with the Kanal Pompidou in Brussels and the Barbican Centre in London, the exhibition has a remarkable scope and ambition, offering a structured journey around key concepts such as blackness, spirituality and the interdependence of generations and geographies. It focuses on cultural responses to colonialism, slavery and racial discrimination, highlighting the ideas of solidarity and liberation as the cornerstones of Pan-Africanism.

An experience that invites us to rethink both the past and the present of the African diaspora through the critical and creative gaze of those who, with their art, have transformed the cultural narrative.
