Afro-surrealism

The Afro-Surrealist art movement is a contemporary artistic movement that combines elements of Surrealism with the experiences and perspectives of African diaspora. This movement emerged in the early 21st century as a response to the lack of representation and inclusion of African diaspora in mainstream Surrealist art.

Afro-Surrealist artists often use fantastical, dreamlike imagery to explore the complex and often-painful experiences of the African diaspora, as well as to challenge and subvert traditional notions of reality and identity. These artists often draw inspiration from African folklore and mythology, as well as from the history of the African diaspora, to create works that are both beautiful and thought-provoking.

The Afro-Surrealist art movement has been gaining traction in recent years, with many artists and galleries showcasing the work of these talented and unique creators.
