Robert Devereau set up The African Art Trust (TAAT) as a charitable foundation back in 2010. At the time, he was thinking he would support it for no more than 10 years, like most of the start-up projects he’d previously launched.
But since the foundation was launched and he got increasingly involved, working with artists in the region, the work of TAAT led him to set up a non-profit gallery space where artists and curators can engage with the public and also collaborate.
