Moda e arte dell’Africa conquistano Parigi: 3 mostre in un unico museo

The Musée Quai Branly in Paris is hosting "Africa Fashion," an exhibition originally produced by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London in 2023. Adapted for the Parisian venue, the show draws on the museum's rich historical and photographic collections to explore African fashion from decolonization to the present, featuring clothing, textiles, music videos, and archival photography from across the continent.

What the Water Refuses to Forget: Nuits Balnéaires and the Poetics of Ancestral Return

Ivorian artist Nuits Balnéaires presents 'Eboro', a solo exhibition at the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris, running until 4 October 2026. The show blends photography, installation, fashion, and archival elements to explore memory, mythology, and family history, centered on the unresolved death of the artist's uncle, journalist and playwright Noël X. Ebony, in Dakar in 1986. Produced through the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès’ Latitudes programme, the exhibition draws on Akan, Agni-Bona, and Malinké cosmologies, treating remembrance as a porous, spiritual condition shaped by oceans, dreams, and ancestral echoes.
