This thesis showcases the artistic and literary production of the African continent, using the time I spent there during my PhD PDSE (Sandwich PhD Program) as background. Beginning with the idea that Africa as a continent has been for centuries placed in the place of lack, of insufficiency (SARR, 2016), and that this common sense must be changed to a new Africa that comes (MBEMBE, 2018), that presents itself with others realities and intellectual and artistic productions, my trip to Nigeria is a catalysis of the meeting of new African writers and artists , living in the continent or abroad in diaspora. I bring along the thesis writers and artists from four different places: TJ Dema, Botswana poet, who works with oral and written literature, uniting the Setswana tradition of poetry and the English one; Emmanuel Iduma, Nigerian essayist, art critic and writer of fiction, who currently lives in New York; Dami Ajayi, Nigerian poet, Iduma s partner in the creation and editing of a literary magazine; Ayobami Adébáyọ̀, Nigerian novelist, who writes from the confluence of the Yoruba tradition with the English novel; Peju Alatise, Nigerian visual artist, who discusses in her work the women role in Nigerian society; Ladan Osman, poet, that appears with the photographs he made for the SarabaMag, magazine of Emmanuel Iduma and Dami Ajayi; Aminata Sow Fall, a Senegalese novelist who began publishing in 1976, important in the so-called literature of disenchantment of the French expression countries; Djibril Diallo Falémé, Senegalese writer that uses traditional oral forms in his writing; Victor Ehikhamenor, Nigerian visual artist, who works the influences of the traditional and the western; Zakes Mda, visual artist and South African writer, a bestseller in his country; Yewande Omotoso, a South African writer born in the Caribbean. The multiplicity of these artists and writers, as well as the objects that they produce presented throughout the thesis, gives a broad view of what Achille Mbembe and Felwine Sarr have called in an interview for the French newspaper l Humanité in June 2017 of a non-Western modernity, a space of thought and creativity that does not subjugate the gods and traditions to the rational and instrumental.
