If you can't afford a holiday this summer, transport yourself to another place with Angaza Afrika (Look Around Africa), a showcase of some of the continent's best contemporary art. The 12 featured artists range from Algeria's Rachid Koraïchi, who presents appliquéd textile pieces, to Benin's Romuald Hazoumé, whose material of choice is usually the humble plastic petrol can. Ghanaian El Anatsui, meanwhile, favours metal, wood and non-recyclable objects in his dramatic, large-scale installations. Watch out for his contribution to Channel 4's Big 4 art project outside the station's Horseferry Road HQ.
