Africa Remix exhibition concludes European tour at Centre Pompidou

The exhibition 'Africa Remix: L'art contemporain d'un continent' is presented as 'the most important exhibition of contemporary African art ever realized in Europe.' After stops at Kunst Palas in Düsseldorf in summer 2004 and the Hayward Gallery in London in early 2005, the Centre Pompidou in Paris hosts the show, closing its European tour. In Paris, the exhibition raises specific questions about the French context, which has been hesitant on the multiculturalism debate. The presence of this exhibition at the Centre Pompidou is undoubtedly a significant event for the recognition of contemporary African art in France, which until now has been shown sparingly and often in venues on the margins of major institutions.
