Briefing: ‘The violence of racist tyranny’: African Guernica goes on display alongside Picasso masterpiece

The Reina Sofía museum has unveiled a significant exhibition featuring Dumile Feni's piece, African Guernica, which is strategically placed next to Picasso's iconic work, Guernica.

This exhibition is part of a broader series titled History Doesn’t Repeat Itself, But It Does Rhyme, which aims to explore the interplay between historical narratives and artistic expression.

By juxtaposing these two artworks, the exhibition invites a critical examination of the themes of violence and tyranny, particularly in the context of racial oppression.
