Black Voices from the Museum Collection places center stage those artists whose contributions have historically been underrepresented in Western art institutions. Their work speaks with urgency and clarity to the present moment — a call to see, reflect, and reimagine.
Curated from the AMOCA Collection, this exhibition brings together artists whose works are redefining the global art conversation.
Offering a compelling panorama of creative practices rooted in Africa and its diaspora, the exhibition presents artists who reclaim space, challenge conventional narratives, and explore themes of identity, history, resistance, joy, and belonging.
This pop-up exhibition marks the first public presentation from AMOCA — the upcoming Artistic Museum of Contemporary Art in Cardiff. AMOCA is being built as a cultural hub for Wales and the world, committed to education, public dialogue, and access to contemporary art through exhibitions, residencies, youth engagement, and community outreach.
The exhibition features internationally acclaimed artists, including:
Adiskidan Ambaye, Alexandre Diop, Alioune Diagne, Amoako Boafo, Anya Paintsil, Carmen Neely, Deborah Segun, Delphine Desane, Esiri Erheriene-Essi, Ferrari Sheppard, Girmachew Getnet, Jonathan Lyndon Chase, Kahlif Tahir Thompson, Khari Turner, Marc Padeu, Marcus Jansen, Merikokeb Berhanu, Milo Matthieu, Nate Lewis, Nedia Were, Nirit Takele, Nigatu Tsehay, Omar Ba, Otis Quaicoe, Preston Pavlis, Richard Kennedy, Selome Muleta, Serge Attukwei Clottey, Seyoum Ayalew, Spencer Lewis, Tadesse Mesfin, Tariku Shiferaw, Tesfaye Urgessa, Tizta Berhanu, Tonia Nneji, Tunji Adeniyi-Jones, and YoYo Lander.
