International Jury Selects Five Award Recipients For The Inaugural Toyota Tsusho CFAO African Art Award
Five emerging artists from across Africa honoured from around 100 nominees. Grand Prize and four additional awards to be showcased in exhibitions in Togo, Japan and France.
“Art is not an accessory to society; it is one of the ways in which societies reflect, question and project themselves into the future. With more than 170 years of presence across the African continent, it is natural for CFAO to engage alongside artists and communities. Through THE TOYOTA TSUSHO CFAO African Art Award, we want to support the diversity of contemporary practices emerging from Africa and help carry these voices and the Continent’s cultural radiance far beyond its borders” said Richard Bielle, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, CFAO.
