“What happens when one culture engages with another through the media of exhibitions, art writing, painting, sculpture, or film? How do artists, art historians, and curators interpret, describe, and display art and artefacts that are foreign to their target audience? What should we make of the fascination of Western artists with foreign cultures? And what does it mean for contemporary artists, Western or non-Western, to make art in a world, which, we are constantly told, is shrinking?”

These are the editor’s questions as she brought together Art in Translation: “The Reception of African Art” (Volume 5, Issue 4). This special issue aims to distinguish between the western ideal of “primitive” African art and the reality of the art made by an ever-growing, ever-changing culture.
