Kabye
( kah-bee-yeah ) is the name of the West African,
Togolese ethnic group known for yielding crops in
difficult, mountainous terrains, who built a wall to
support a level planting field.
Vision
Statement
We envision KIACA as
the premier leader in exposing Contemporary African
art and artists by promoting, organizing, planning,
and curating exhibitions and other events. In doing
so, KIACA has the mandate to increase public
appreciation of contemporary African art by
nurturing awareness of the creativity of African
artists through exhibitions, interactive tours and
innovative educational programs. KIACA seeks to
shape opinion of African art in order to impart an
accurate historical record of African contributions
to art, history and culture.
We are continuing to make up-to-the-minute additions
and changes which include the speed and ease of
navigating this site. We hope you will continue to
visit KIACA.org while these changes are taking
place.
