Africa State of Mind explores the work of an emergent generation of photographers from across the African continent. 15 artists from 11 different countries interrogate ideas of ‘Africanness’ through highly subjective renderings of life and identity, collectively revealing Africa as a psychological space or a ‘state of mind’, as much as a physical territory.

Monday – Tuesday Closed
Wednesday – Saturday 11 am – 6 pm
Sunday 12 pm – 5 pm

Museum of the African Diaspora (MOAD)
685 Mission St (at 3rd)
