The exhibition brings together artists from various regions of the American and African continents through shared resonances and references, related practices, mutual inspirations, ongoing lines of inquiry, and transmissions—both generational and ancestral—that connect, with a vitality at times visible and at times veiled, the shores of the Atlantic.

The title draws inspiration from the concept developed by Afro-Brazilian intellectual Lélia Gonzalez, who articulated race, gender, and class to propose an attentive perspective on the African foundations of the aesthetic and sociocultural formation of the Americas. By renaming the Americas as Améfrica, Gonzalez proposed a relational, political, and aesthetic cartography that decenters Europe and foregrounds the profound Afro-centered influence in all cultural expressions of the “New World.”

Taking up this vision, the exhibition establishes a dialogue among artists from diverse generations and geographies, tracing and reimagining the ongoing historical, artistic, and intellectual exchanges between Africa and the Americas.
