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 – a curatorial perspective on contemporary African art, its institutions, and global market dynamics.
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.

Diaspora, Identity and Transnational Narratives in Contemporary African Art
May 2026 — Editorial by OOA Gallery
The 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, In Minor Keys, by Koyo Kouoh, offers a timely reminder that the conversation around Africa and its diasporas is no longer peripheral. It is central. Contemporary African art can no longer be contained by geography alone. The continent remains an essential point of reference, but many artists today work across cultural, linguistic, and geographic contexts that reflect the realities of migration, mobility, and global exchange.
