Kings and Queens of Africa: Forms and Figures of Power is the catalog for the exhibition of the same name held at Louvre Abu Dhabi from 29 January to 8 June 2025, in collaboration with the Musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac. Designed by Paris-based studio Prototype and published by Snoeck Publishers, the catalog explores the visual and material expressions of power among of Africa's most revered and influential figures.

Published in English, French, and Arabic editions, the book’s typography uses Swiss Typefaces' SangBleu Sunrise for the Latin-script covers and running text, while the Arabic edition uses Nadine Chahine’s Readex Pro. In addition, Caio Kondo's Eiko is used for chapter titles.
