This exhibition presents a selection of works from the Albany Museum of Art permanent Sub-Saharan African Collection. The AMA has the largest collection of Sub-Saharan African Art in the South Georgia region outside of a college or university setting.
This collection currently consists of over 1,000 works. It continues to grow and become a widespread collection that intentionally brings the nuanced cultures and traditions of the African continent to the forefront.
While these works have been with the AMA for over 40 years, it is important to consider how scholarship, documentation, and literature on these specific regions, communities, and cultures have developed.
