Since Koyo Kouoh took over the reins of the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz- Mocaa), the Cape Town Museum has been making waves in the contemporary art world by putting Africa front and centre.

Under the ambitious Cameroonian-born curator, the museum in the city's port district has built its identity around Pan-Africanism, showcasing the work of artists from the continent and its diaspora.
