The "Caravans of Gold, Fragments in Time", recently opened at the Aga Khan Museum (AKM) in Toronto. Organised by the Block Museum of Art at Northwestern University, it showcases the power and culture of the African continent and the impact of its countries on the world. "The exhibition raises an important story in world history about Islam in Africa during the medieval era. It highlights the ways in which the shared language of Arabic brought diverse people together, facilitating trade and making western Africa the powerful heart of an interconnected world. It’s a story that’s rarely told, and yet it has shaped the world we know today", says Henry Kim, Director and CEO of AKM.
