Painting depicting the African story is on the rise, a reflection of the African artist's self-awareness. It therefore does not come as a surprise that from September 24 to January 7 next year, Kunsthal KAdE in Amersfoort in the Netherlands is exhibiting Carla and Pieter Schulting’s collection of contemporary African art.

Over the past five years, Carla and Pieter Schulting have assembled an extensive collection of 170 artworks that include paintings, sculptures and photographs by 154 artists from 33 African countries and the African diaspora.
