CATPC in ArtReview’s Art Power 100
4 December 2025
Human Activities congratulates CATPC on its consecutive nomination to the yearly Art Power 100 list, ArtReview’s annual portrait of the most influential individuals and groups in the artworld. At last, communities that work and live on the plantations that have funded the establishment of key western art museums are starting to be recognized. ArtReview cites CATPC among initiatives that “are reinventing how their work should be distributed and who their audience should be, and who consciously plug the economics (which is to say the wealth) of the artworld into quite different social contexts.”
CATPC: “We express our gratitude to God and our ancestors for this renewed inclusion, which we dedicate to all plantation communities around the world. We are happy that through this recognition by ArtReview Magazine, we can continue to share the “unhealthy privileges” of art, transcend the colonial divide, and support each other in a spirit of solidarity. We dedicate and share this victory with all plantation workers. Especially those in Congo, Indonesia, Suriname, the Caribbean islands, and elsewhere in the world who, through forced labor, have involuntarily contributed to the existence of museums in the West. We also want to express our gratitude and joy for all the inspiration that brother Ibrahim Mahama has brought us. This collective achievement is proof that together, anything is possible.”
