Mwangi Hutter's artwork is featured alongside works by renowned artists such as Kerry James Marshall, Yto Barrada, Chris Ofili, Kawira Mwirichia, Abdoulaye Ndoye, and David Hammons in Project a Black Planet: The Art and Culture of Panafrica, on view at the Art Institute of Chicago from December 15, 2024, to March 30, 2025.
This major exhibition brings together over 350 works of art, spanning from the 1920s to the present, by artists from Africa, the Americas, and Europe. It explores Pan-Africanism as a conceptual space where themes of decolonization, solidarity, and freedom are advanced. Rather than a fixed territory, Pan-Africa is presented as a shifting, boundless constellation that redefines traditional representations of the world.
In addition to visual art, the exhibition features a significant collection of books, magazines, and ephemera that have fueled global movements for resistance and self-invention. Co-organized by the Art Institute of Chicago and MACBA, this exhibition invites visitors to engage deeply with Pan-Africanism's ongoing calls for equality and social transformation.
