11/05/2025 - 04/06/2026

The MACBA presents Projecting a Black Planet. The Art and Culture of Pan-Africa, an internationally significant exhibition that delves into the cultural expressions of Pan-Africanism from the 1920s to the present day. Featuring over 350 works by a hundred artists from 80 countries across Africa, the Americas, and Europe, this exhibition explores the influence of the movement on 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 stands out for its scope and ambition. It offers a structured journey around key concepts such as Negritude, spirituality, and the interdependence between generations and geographies, focusing on cultural responses to colonialism, slavery, and racial discrimination, while emphasising solidarity and liberation as central tenets of Pan-Africanism.
