As We Rise is a compilation of images from the African diaspora featuring works by Black artists from Africa, Canada, the Caribbean, Great Britain, Latin America and the United States.
Gleaned from Jamaican-Canadian dentist Kenneth Montague’s Wedge Collection, it looks at Black life through the lens of community, identity and power. Montague, who recently visited South Africa to attend FNB Art Joburg, met some of the creatives whose works feature in the book, such as Free State-born Jabulani Dhlamini and Ayana V. The book is available at leading bookstores nationwide for R1 810.
