Works by more than 100 African, African-descended, or simply African-influenced artists from around the world are the focus of a new show at New York’s Museum of Arts and Design.

“The Global Africa Project” is the first Africa-centered show at the museum, which specializes in the arts of craftsmanship and design. Among the African nations represented are Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Malawi, Senegal, Togo, Cameroon, Uganda, Ghana, Botswana, Mali, Ivory Coast, Madagascar, Mozambique, the Comoros and Algeria. Many of the pieces on display, though, were created outside of Africa.
