As African countries gain recognition as 21st-century global leaders, the Aga Khan Museum celebrates the continent's power - past, present, and future - with its fall season, Africa! The exhibition Caravans of Gold, curated by Kathleen Bickford Berzock and organised by the Block Museum of Art at Northwestern University, made Christie's 2019 list of must-see exhibitions. It features a cutting-edge curatorial approach that sets stunning masterpieces alongside recently unearthed archeological fragments, and includes many loans from the national collections of Mali, Nigeria, and Morocco. This juxtaposition reveals how deeply connected medieval Africa was to a wide swathe of the world, influencing art and culture across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
