AKAA, a flagship event of Paris Art Week bringing together collectors, art professionals, and contemporary art enthusiasts, will take place from October 23 to 25, 2026, beneath the glass roofs of the Carreau du Temple in Paris.

Reaffirming its commitment to promoting the visibility, mobility, and recognition of African and Afro-descendant artists on the international stage, AKAA continues to play a central role in the growth and structuring of the market.

To mark the bicentenary of photography, the fair is launching a new section, AKAA PHOTO, which will showcase how photographers shape a visual memory that chronicles the upheavals of time, independence movements, urban transformations, reinvented traditions, the aspirations of youth, and the enduring strength of cultural heritage.
