DakArtNews exists to bridge Africa and the world through contemporary art. Through interviews, in-depth reports, and coverage of major artistic events worldwide, we highlight the richness and diversity of African creative practices. We firmly believe in the ability of art to unite people and act as a powerful catalyst for intercultural dialogue, bringing together diverse cultures and fostering cross-cultural understanding on an international scale. DakArtNews offers artists a platform to connect with varied audiences and with one another, while inviting critics and art professionals to exchange ideas and rethink the narratives of contemporary art.

Our work also extends into independent curatorial practice, guided by a deep engagement with Africa’s artistic landscapes — from emerging practices to established voices. We approach curation with the conviction that art is a space for encounter, reflection, and transformation, creating opportunities for African artists to dialogue among themselves and with the wider world. Through these curatorial initiatives, DakArtNews contributes to shaping meaningful artistic conversations and expanding the visibility of contemporary African art.
