We are thrilled to announce the release of Heroes: Principles of African Greatness. The catalogue showcases the more than 50 museum artworks included in the award-winning exhibition (2019–22) of the same name—both components of a larger multi-platform project that developed, from an in-person show, into a multimedia digital experience featuring videos, an interactive tour, and curated playlist.
The catalogue is the museum’s first collection-focused publication to apply the National Museum of African Art’s pioneering exhibition practice of inviting connections between works by African artists in the museum’s collection across the full spectrum of time, media, and geographies. Published by Hirmer Publishers, Heroes’ 264 pages contains 200 color illustrations and retails for $34.95.
