AFIKARIS

Founded in 2018, with the mission to promote artists from Africa and its diaspora, the AFIKARIS gallery moved in December 2020 to 38 rue Quincampoix, just a few steps away from the Centre Pompidou, and opened a second space in July 2022 in the upper Marais, at 7 rue Notre-Dame-de-Nazareth, which will become its permanent space in December 2022. The gallery highlights the work of artists from Africa and its diaspora and aims to give them international visibility through its own exhibitions and by presenting their work at fairs, as well as by collaborating with cultural institutions.

The gallery aims to be a place of exchange, expression and dialogue that allows for a conversation with the public. It gives its artists a voice on current issues as well as on issues that are close to their hearts. It is also a space for reflection on the artistic scene of the African continent and highlights its emerging talents as well as those already renowned.

Artists presented at AKAA 2022:
Moustapha Baidi Oumarou, Matthew Eguavoen, Jean David Nkot, Hyacinthe Ouattara
