‘Making Africa’ brings a new perspective to African design. For the first time, we have a book that focuses on creative achievements on the continent, without getting bogged down in the usual tropes of recycling, humanitarian design or traditional crafts. Instead, “Making Africa” showcases a new generation of designers who use their work as a tool for economic, political and social change, thereby creating a new future for the continent. Their creative output defies all definitions of genre, transcending classical fields such as furniture design, product design and typography to encompass digital media, art, photography, architecture and film.
