Africa Pop exhibition explores African cultures through wax fabrics at Musée International d'Art Naïf Anatole Jakovsky

The Musée International d'Art Naïf Anatole Jakovsky in Nice presents Africa Pop, an exhibition examining African cultures through wax fabrics and everyday objects. Curated by anthropologist Anne Grosfilley and historian Claude Boli, the show draws on three decades of research to reveal how textiles express women's voices across the continent. An immersive scenography creates a giant visual dictionary environment. Alongside contemporary displays, the museum presents works from its permanent collection and archival materials documenting African naïve and popular art. The exhibition runs from May 2 to October 18, 2026. Featured imagery includes Roller party from the Collectif 2e arrêt collection. The museum is located at 23 avenue de Fabron in Nice.
