BBC Art History Feature - Instagram (January 2026)

Why are African artists still so often left out of the global story of modern art?⁣

At Tate Modern in London, tour guide Nadia Denton is working to change that with what she calls “a voyage of discovery”.⁣

⁣Her free ‘African Modernism & Afro-Surrealism’ tour spotlights artists of African descent, challenges old colonial narratives, and opens up conversations about identity, history and belonging inside the gallery space.⁣
