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.
