A beast, a god and a line is woven by connections and circulations of ideas across a geography with Bengal at its core. Commonly called Asia-Pacific, it could also be defined by several other definitions, which the exhibition will explore and untangle. Overlapping and sometimes conflicting or barely discernible beneath the strident layers of contemporaneity and the modern waves of destruction, these worlds are still the pillars of a region that is going through a process of replacing its colonial cartographic coordinates, a process this exhibition proudly serves.

La Fondation Clément s’est associée à la Fondation Dapper pour ouvrir ses portes à l’exceptionnelle créativité d’artistes qui, hier comme aujourd’hui, témoignent de la richesse d’une Afrique plurielle. Jamais la Martinique, ni même plus largement la Caraïbe, n’ont auparavant accueilli une manifestation de ce type et de cette envergure.

La Villa du Parc, centre d’art contemporain, accueille du 13 janvier au 17 mars 2018 l’exposition Ailleurs est ce rêve proche qui réunit une dizaine d’artistes contemporains pour parler de frontières, d’exil, d’errance, d’altérité, d’identité, de géographie, d’horizon, de terre promise.... L’exposition associe des artistes confirmés et émergents, aux origines, formations et générations différentes, pour une multiplicité de points de vue, offrant un aperçu de la complexité et de la multiplicité des expériences de la géographie.

Malala Andrialavidrazana, Marius Dansou

Infatigable voyageuse, l’artiste Malala Andrialavidrazana s’est également formée à l’architecture. Ses recherches portent sur les notions de frontières et d'interactions interculturelles. En une succession d'allers-retours entre espaces privés et problématiques mondiales, l’artiste explore les différentes imageries sociales par le biais d’un travail anthropologique ouvrant sur une multitude d’histoires. out en s'inspirant des archives photographiques du grand photographe nigérian Ojeikere et d’archives familiales, Marius Dansou réalise, dans du fer à béton, des coiffes majestueuses dont il cherche à décoder les messages.

Kehrer Gallery is delighted to welcome you to a typical French apéro at our Pop-Up Gallery in Arles on Wednesday July 5, from 6 pm.

We will show »Africana« with Malala Andrialavidrazana, Lebohang Kganye, Nicola Lo Calzo and Per-Anders Petterson.

Exhibition from July 4 to 8, 2017.

With the exhibition AFRICA. Telling a world from 27 June to 11 September 2017, Milan’s PAC continues its exploration of the continents following the route of art, with a selection of artists and narratives that not only live and entrench their African roots in the world, but who and which also experience its Diaspora. Retracing their diversity, the exhibition will allow visitors an understanding of the universality of the contemporary Africa scene south of the Sahara, unveiling the immediate and growing spirit,without hiding the violence and matching immediacy of the worlds that make it up.

MAKING DOUALA 2007-2017 explores the relationship between art and urban transformation in Africa. The exhibition presents projects realised for the Salon Urbain de Douala (SUD), a triennial festival dedicated to public art in Douala, Cameroon. Artists addressing the issue of collective cultural identity have aimed to re-install historical awareness or undertaken inventive infrastructural interventions.
Curatorial team: Marilyn Douala Manga Bell of doual’art, Kamiel Verschuren, Xandra Nibbeling and Lucas Grandin of ICU art projects, Roberto Paci Dalò, Marta Pucciarelli and Iolanda Pensa of SUPSI and Fiona Siegenthaler of University of Basel.

Coinciding with the launch of “Platform Africa”,  Aperture presents an exhibition of new limited-edition prints by artists featured in the issue, including Malala Andrialavidrazana, Fatoumata Diabate, Jabulani Dhlamini, Sipho Gongxeka, Nico Krijno, Musa N. Nxumalo, Mimi Cherono Ng’ ok, and Abdo Shanan in the 1:54 Lounge.

After a year’s discussion, the objective of this Biennale has settled as “Every Skyscraper is Built from the Ground”, which describes the process of art development during the history and emphasizes its base. The objective also metaphorizes that everything develops from nothing, symbolizes that image art are ubiquitous and influenced all trades and professions, and manifests the Biennale‘s ambition to enter into the public full-fledged.

Deep Memory may in part investigate colonial traces, but most of all it wants to introduce a number of powerful artistic visions in a contemporary arts museum that is seeking relevance in a conversation that is transnational – in a way that we have now come to live an existence that is hugely dependent on a global conversation, facing challenges such as increasing gaps between rich and poor and fights over resources that send people on the move.

L’exposition Lumières d’Afriques, présentée en 2015 à Paris au Théâtre National de Chaillot, en 2016 à Abidjan, en Côte d’Ivoire, puis début 2017 à Dakar au Sénégal, est aujourd’hui présentée au Palais des Nations, à Genève.

Imaginée par le fond de dotation African Artists for Development, l’exposition est présentée du 13 au 31 Mars 2017 à la Mezzanine E du Palais des Nations (ONU) à Genève, Suisse.

Following the exhibition at the Théâtre National de Chaillot in Paris (2015) and at the Donwahi Foundation in Abidjan (2016), Lumières d'Afriques is presented at the Théodore Monod Museum in Dakar.

Echoes (from Indian Ocean) will be featured at the fourth edition of the Addis Foto Fest. Founded in 2010 by award-winning photographer Aida Muluneh, the biennial is one of the leading photography festivals on the African continent.

The group exhibition Studio Bamako forms a dialogue with the tenth edition of the Rencontres de Bamako, the biennial for photography in Mali.

Group exhibition curated by Camille Morineau, including Ruby Onyinyechi Amanze, Malala Andrialavidrazana, Seni Awa Camara, Virginia Chihota, Lebohang Kganye, Zanele Muholi, Mimi Cherono Ng’ok, Fatou Kandé Senghor, Sue Williamson.

Origins & Trajectories highlights the creative diversity of artists from Africa or of African origin. Reflecting the ‘Afropolitan’ notion that migration (be it forced or voluntary) and nomadic tradition have helped shape contemporary African identity, the exhibition will showcase artistic practices inspired by the history of the African continent, and their interpretation in an increasingly globalized world.

The endowment African Artists for Development is pleased to announce the arrival of the exhibition Lumières d’Afriques in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.

That Art Fair's Featured Artists are from the African Diaspora and their body of work is representative of a fresh perspective which contributes to the visual conversation and transformation of contemporary art from Africa within a global context.

Exposition collective en deux volets à partir de la collection du FRAC Réunion, consacrée au portrait et à l'autoportrait.

The African Artists for Development endowment fund has organized an exhibition, open to the pub- lic, at the Théâtre National de Chaillot, November 4-24, 2015, prior to COP21. This initiative is a world first in more ways than one. For the first time in the history of contemporary art, 54 world-renowned artists, one for each coun- try on the great African continent, will present a work inspired by a single theme: “The Illuminated Africa.”

The Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Crafts in Mali and the Institut français are pleased to announce the 10th Bamako Encounters, African Biennale of Photography Telling Time, which explores the complex and multifaceted relationship between images and time. Inspired by both Mali’s rich cultural traditions of storytelling and the nation’s recent political upheavals, the forthcoming edition questions the methods by which artists narrate real and imagined experiences through different economies of time. In chronicling how artists address the unpredictable and consequential relationship between political action, social experience, and aesthetic experience, Telling Time offers a multiplicity of perspectives from which to assess the biennale’s enduring role as an international convener of photographic practices in Africa.
