We meet the artist questioning whether South Africa has lived up to its promise to be a 鈥淩ainbow Nation.鈥� Athi Patra Ruga takes us on a tour of his new exhibition, Of Gods, Rainbows and Omissions - a series of highly charged films, performances and photographs which questions South Africa鈥檚 post-apartheid identity.

What is Afro-futurism? From the sci-fi funk of the 1970s to the creation of Wakanda, the home of Marvel鈥檚 Black Panther, the writer Ytasha Womack breaks down what Afrofuturism is and why viewing the future through a black cultural lens is a positive step for all.

We take a look into the future of African art with the artists Zina Saro-Wiwa and Paul Onditi and the publisher Anna-Alix Koffi. They discuss how the art scene across the continent is developing into a multi-million dollar industry and they share their views on the ideas and the artists that will continue to shape African art in the years to come.

Plus has a song, a film or a book ever changed the way you see the world? The Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Angelique Kidjo, shares the story of the Senegalese book which made her question the tension between modernity and tradition in her life and her community.
