Far from being a simple aesthetic exhibition, this week is intended as a space for transmission and affirmation. Whether in painting, music or cinema, art is presented here as a tool of memory, capable of telling plural stories and consolidating identities often fragmented by geographical distance. <\/p>\n
An immersive program in the heart of Dauphine<\/h2>\n
The PSL (Paris Sciences & Lettres) ecosystem and the Centre Mazet will host a series of events designed to encourage sharing and conviviality:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Vernissage and Exhibition:<\/strong> Official launch on March 21 at 6pm at the Centre Mazet, for an immediate immersion in the creative universe of this edition.<\/li>\n
- Cinema and Debates:<\/strong> A screening scheduled for March 24 to explore the social and human realities of the continent through the big screen.<\/li>\n
- Workshops and Culture:<\/strong> totebag painting, canvas painting and a henna workshop to give you a hands-on experience of the creative material.<\/li>\n
- Artistic services:<\/strong> the dynamic presence of the @urbaineparis<\/strong> association to celebrate movement and dance.<\/li>\n
- Gastronomy:<\/strong> A grand African buffet to close the week under the banner of fraternity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/p>\nCarrying textile heritage into the diaspora era<\/h2>\n
The intellectual highlight of the week will take place on Thursday March 26 at 7:30pm<\/strong> in Amphitheatre 6. Fashion, the pivotal sector of contemporary African identity, will be the focus of a round-table discussion entitled: “Wearing the heritage: African fashion in the diaspora era”.<\/strong> <\/p>\n
Long reserved for traditional ceremonies or the intimacy of the home, African fashion is now undergoing a spectacular transformation. It is now part of urban and global codes. <\/p>\n
Topics covered:<\/h3>\n
- \n
- Reappropriation:<\/strong> How do you transform fabrics and silhouettes with a strong tradition into everyday pieces?<\/li>\n
- Identity:<\/strong> What does the choice of “African” clothing reveal about the links between diaspora and creation?<\/li>\n
- Transmission:<\/strong> The role of creators in international cultural redefinition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
To shed light on these issues, the round table will welcome Ramata Diallo<\/strong>, founder of the Africa Fashion Tour<\/strong> media, for a lively discussion punctuated by textile discoveries.<\/p>\n
