North Miami, FL - The 11th edition of the AfriKin Art Fair returns as the premier showcase of African and diasporic contemporary art during Miami Art Week / Art Basel Miami Beach. This year's theme - "Through Creation, We Find Meaning: SCENES From HOME" - invites audiences into a profound encounter with art's role in shaping belonging, identity, and cultural continuity.
Curated by Dr. Joseph L. Underwood, Ph.D. (Associate Professor of Art History, Kent State University), the exhibition features over 60 cross-disciplinary artists from more than 30 countries and territories, offering a panoramic vision of global Black creativity at its most vibrant.
November 30 - December 7, 2025 | Miami Art Week / Art Basel Miami Beach
Exhibition Overview: "SCENES From HOME"
Dr. Underwood says: " Coming at a critical moment in world history, as borders become more closed off, as nations re-evaluate the status of passport and visa holders, and as big tech sees users as mere data, artists can offer a meaningful reflection on what makes us human-from the tangible masterpieces we create with our hands and hearts, to how we intentionally connect with our families, neighbors, and communities by the stories our artworks tell ."
The exhibition unfolds across six subthemes, each exploring a facet of belonging:
* The Land - celebrates nature as both heritage and living archive.
* Built Environment - examines architecture, form, and the human landscape.
* Space and Spirit - explores the metaphysical realms of identity and faith.
* Nostalgia and Tradition - reclaims memory, ancestry, and cultural transmission.
* Aspirational Visions - imagines home as a horizon of collective futures.
* Generation to Generation - honors kinship, legacy, and the bonds that define us
