In the group setting of the workshop, innovation and imitation collide, artists share ideas and techniques, and creative expression flourishes. \u003ci\u003eAfrican Art and Agency in the Workshop\u003c\/i\u003e examines the variety of workshops, from those which are politically driven or tourist oriented, to those based on historical patronage or allied to current artistic trends.
