"Osei Bonsu ... brilliantly encapsulates the essential works of 50 up-and-coming artists of African heritage ... He draws out core themes across the artists’ oeuvres - postcolonial dystopias, family portraits, future ecologies, portrayals of shifting cultural identities, and reclamations of history - which the artists tease out in various media (painting, sculpture, collage, video, installations).” Library Journal

British-Ghanaian curator, critic and art historian Osei Bonsu is currently Curator of International Art at Tate Modern, London.
