Description

From the creation of the Présence africaine journal to that of Revue noire, the exhibition "Paris noir" traces the presence and influence of Black artists in France from the 1950s to the 2000s. It highlights 150 Afro-descendant artists from Africa to the Americas, whose works have often never been shown in France.

"Paris noir" is a vibrant dive into a cosmopolitan Paris, a place of resistance and creativity, which gave birth to a wide range of practices, from identity awareness to the search for transcultural artistic languages. From international abstractions to Afro-Atlantic abstractions, including surrealism and free figuration, this historical journey reveals the significance of Afro-descendant artists in the redefinition of modernisms and post-modernisms.
