Digital Afrique project curator, Karen Dermineur, presenting the project at Wits Digital Arts.

Karen Dermineur presented the Digital Afrique project at a Digital Soiree on 2 October 2012.   Based in Dakar, Senegal, the project, which has been several years in development,  showcases and reflects on Digital Art and Cultural Practice from North, West, East and Southern Africa. The project consists of a publication with MCD (Music and Cultural Digital) Paris that will profile up to 40 Digital Practioners. This will be  followed with an exhibition in Dakar, Marseille, and Paris  in 2013 and Joburg in 2014.  Karen spoke about the difficulties of tracking down digital art practitioners in Africa  and the need for broader definitions of digital art in an African context.
