A must-see exhibition, an Afrofuturist art installation, talks from influential scholars, and pan-African music are all part of our fall season, Africa!

Toronto, Canada, 28 November 2019 — As African countries gain recognition as 21st-century global leaders, the Aga Khan Museum celebrates the continent’s power — past, present, and future — in an exhibition that runs through 23 February 2020.

In line with our mission to connect cultures, we have partnered with African nations and members of the African diaspora to bring Toronto the groundbreaking exhibition Caravans of Gold, Fragments in Time; an Afrofuturist art installation made of Lego©; and world-class thought leaders and performers who reveal new dimensions of this vast and complex continent.

Opening 21 September 2019, Caravans of Gold takes you back to medieval times, when western Africa fueled the economies of three continents with culture-changing ideas, much sought-after luxuries, and treasured commodities such as salt, ivory, and gold — a world-shaping story largely left out of our Western history books.
