To be or not to be an artist in Africa

Magazine cover - To be or not to be an artist in Africa

You will find a variety here

Whatever happens, you will have to make a living from something, and that something might be your passion — your art.

African art is admired internationally, but on the continent, artists still struggle to find their place.

The role of the artist remains ambiguous in many African countries because it is rarely recognized as a true social function. Too often this career path is reduced to singing, forgetting that art also takes the form of painting, photography, sculpture and many other creative expressions. This edition addresses the economic realities artists face and raises a key question: can being an artist in Africa truly allow you to make a living from your art?

This edition was designed as a space for reflection and testimony. It invites readers to reconsider the role of African creators, understand their struggles, and recognize the richness they bring to the social and cultural fabric.
