To mark Wikimania 2019 the ASCL Library has compiled a web dossier on Public art in Africa. Wikimania is the annual conference celebrating all the free knowledge projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation. The dossier includes titles from the ASCL Library collection and the broader Leiden University Library collection, combined with an interactive Wikidata Map. This map shows the location of a work of public art in Africa, providing - when available - a photo and the (Wikipedia) article. Enjoy the web dossier!
