Like breaking news flashes, the work of twenty-one artists presented in the volume calls attention to pressing current issues in this part of the world, such as the exploitation of the Niger Delta, the situation in Iran, the Arab-Israeli conflict, or the new social imbalances in South Africa. The works in Breaking News train their eye on the present without losing sight of the past, which is highlighted in discussion of the cultural and artistic traditions of the different countries and through images that constitute bona fide historical documents.
