African artists are severely under-represent in the art world. This is by no means due to talent, but rather that they lack the financial support and longterm relationships existing in more developed markets.

​

Working with the South African DEPARTMENT OF ARTS AND CULTURE, I ran a design workshop in order to develop a acceleration strategy for improving both awareness and financial support for art from Africa and her diaspora. Curated African was birthed as a concept to develop a voice and longterm stream of revenue to support artists. It uses micro-financing and community-created networks in order to create a validation change for previously unrecognised artists.
