So, I kind of have this theory that some things are better left up to the experts, and who better to descripe this lovely issue of Juxtapoz, but the fine folks at Juxtapoze... so here is their description...
JUXTAPOZ MAGAZINE NOVEMBER 2008 NEWSSTAND COVER #94
We have raised the stakes. We decided to hop on a plane to Africa, do some investigative work, hire the world's foremost authority on contemporary African art, and publish the November issue dedicated to African art. So where are the artists from? Amongst others, Cameroon, South Africa, Kenya, Egypt, Ethiopia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, Mozambique, Togo, and Ghana.
