The African Workshop School Book

"The African Workshop School" is a book that documents the emergence and evolution of the African Workshop School, a collective of artists and educators who played a key role in shaping the modern art scene in Africa in the 1960s and 1970s. The book offers a detailed and insightful analysis of the artistic and educational practices of the Workshop School and its members and examines the broader social and political context in which they operated.

The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a particular aspect of the African Workshop School's history and legacy. These include the founding and early years of the School, the development of its pedagogical philosophy and methods, the influence of the School on Contemporary African art, and how the School's legacy has been remembered and reinterpreted in the decades since its closure.

Drawing on archival research, interviews with former members of the School, and extensive analysis of artworks produced by the School's artists and students, "The African Workshop School" provides a comprehensive and engaging account of a pivotal moment in the history of African art. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of modern art in Africa, as well as those interested in the intersections between art, education, and social change.
