Rethinking knowledge on African and African Diaspora Arts to better apprehend the logics of artis- tic creation about translation, conditions of knowledge productions and the supports attached to them are crucial in the development of new cultural policies.

Panel 3. Collecting African Diaspora Art: Black Collectors and the Art Market
Saturday Dec. 7, 12am -1pm
Essayist Pablo Helguera, comparing the American art scene to a game of chess, likens the figure of the collector to that of the queen, the most powerful piece on the chessboard. As buyers, col- lectors bring most of the money to the art market. Through their participation in museum boards and purchasing committees, and through the creation of foundations, they play an essential role in legitimizing the art being made, especially since they are often the first to support young artists and young galleries. What are the their thoughts and perspectives in the evolution of contempo- rary African Diaspora Art?
