A Curatorial Platform for Contemporary African and Diasporic Art
Founded in 2011 by Sorella Acosta, the gallery is located in Sitges, a vibrant coastal town just south of Barcelona, celebrated for its rich artistic legacy and cultural dynamism.
OOA GALLERY is dedicated to contemporary African, Afro-American, and Afro-Latin American artists.
Understanding Contemporary African Art
For a comprehensive curatorial overview of the field – including its historical development, key themes, and institutional recognition – we invite you to consult our in-depth guide to contemporary African art.
OOA Insights
Explore OOA Insights – research-led curatorial perspectives on contemporary African art, examining artistic practices and the cultural, technological and institutional contexts that shape them.
Our Program
We represent both emerging talents and established figures whose work explores identity, heritage, and urgent social narratives.
Each year, the gallery hosts eight curated exhibitions and takes part in four major international art fairs, promoting artists both on-site and online.
We collaborate with a global network of collectors, curators, art advisors, and institutions across Europe, the Americas, and Africa.
Our mission is twofold:
– To offer a unique platform for artists to share their stories and grow their practice.
– To provide specialized advisory services in contemporary African art: collection building, market insights, curatorial support, appraisals, and rare acquisitions.
As part of our international vision, OOA GALLERY works closely with partners in the USA, Germany, the UK, Nigeria, and South Africa.
Whether you're an art lover, a new collector, or a seasoned patron, we invite you to engage with some of the most compelling voices in contemporary African art today.

The Knowledge of Making: Textile, Ceramics and the Hierarchies of Media in Contemporary African Art
September 2026 – An OOA Gallery Editorial
Textile and ceramics are increasingly visible within contemporary art, yet both remain shaped by histories of classification that have often separated certain forms of making from painting and sculpture. Through the practices of Médéric Turay, Alex Rocca, Magdalene Odundo, Ladi Kwali, Igshaan Adams and Andile Dyalvane, this Insight examines how technical knowledge, skill and material processes shape the way artworks are understood and valued.
Beyond material alone, the questions extend to transmission, authorship and collaboration: how is knowledge carried through making, how are artistic and technical roles distributed, and what happens when inherited hierarchies between media are reconsidered within contemporary art?
