Far from being a simple retrospective, it is a <g id=\"gid_1\">living space<\/g> that invites listening and contemplation, inhabited by voices, presences, silences and memories. Through this installation, conceived <em>in situ<\/em> in a new version, Roxane Mbanga uses a variety of media:  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Original creations (illustrations, paintings, sculptures);<\/li>\n<li>Textiles and furniture;<\/li>\n<li>Affective objects that form an inseparable whole.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At the heart of the installation are <strong>door sculptures<\/strong> inspired by traditional African and West Indian architecture. These doors symbolize the passages that open up between multiple heritages and complex identities. The generous work delivers a clear message: the affirmation of identity completeness, a place where <strong>&#8220;there is nothing to give up, that we are whole and in our place.&#8221;<\/strong>  <\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-9780\" src=\"https:\/\/africafashiontour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1-2-819x1024.webp\" alt=\"Roxane Mbanga, multidisciplinary artist\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\"><\/h3>\n<h3>MansA, the home for African worlds<\/h3>\n<p>The opening of <strong>MansA &#8211; Maison des Mondes Africains<\/strong> with the NOIRES exhibition is no accident, but a strong affirmation of the ambition of this new venue. MansA is positioned as a <strong>lively<\/strong> and inclusive <strong>space<\/strong>, aiming to explore African cultures and their diasporas from the angle of diversity, creativity and imagination. <\/p>\n<p>As the founders state, MansA opens <strong>&#8220;like crossing the threshold of a new home: with projections, renewed hopes, desires for storytelling and sharing.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By entrusting this first stage to Roxane Mbanga, MansA is signalling its intention to become a <strong>place for storytelling, sharing and collective creation<\/strong>, where every visitor can feel at home, project his or her ideal and create a community.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>NOIRES<\/strong> exhibition by Roxane Mbanga is open to visitors <strong>from October 4 to 26<\/strong>. Admission is free, but reservations are required for individual 45-minute slots (up to 3 places per reservation). <\/p>\n<p>Throughout the month of October, a rich <strong>cultural program<\/strong> will accompany the exhibition, with meetings, performances and workshops exploring themes dear to the artist&#8217;s heart.<\/p>\n<p><em>For more information and to book your visit, click here https:\/\/www.billetweb.fr\/noires-roxane-mbanga<\/em><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Read also<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/africafashiontour.com\/en\/roxane-mbanga-a-multidisciplinary-artist\/\">Roxane Mbanga, a multidisciplinary artist<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/africafashiontour.com\/en\/with-kinact-kinshasa-vibrates-to-the-rhythm-of-artistic-performances\/\">With KinAct, Kinshasa vibrates to the rhythm of artistic performances<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/africafashiontour.com\/en\/aisha-deme-expert-on-senegals-cultural-and-artistic-industries\/\">A\u00efsha Deme, expert on Senegal&#8217;s cultural and artistic industries  <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Multidisciplinary artist Roxane Mbanga inaugurates MansA &#8211; Maison des Mondes Africains in Paris with her exhibition NOIRES.
