It is always a pleasure to be in a truly urban space, a big city. In Paris we participated in an art and design fair called "Also Known As Africa". We were intrigued by the title and how it attempts to create a playful way of talking about the African continent. In Paris we met the founder and director of AKAA Victoria Mann, who explains how the art and design fair came about and the purpose of its existence. We are also speaking to a gallerist from Paris – the gallery manager of Afikaris Gallery Michaëla Hadji-Minaglou, and finally we can present one of the participating artists Tiffanie Delune who is French, Belgian and Congolese working on textile. She was born and grew up in a Pairs suburb, recently living in London, but now residing in Lisboa, Portugal. Painting by Cristiano Mangovo from Angola, presented by Gallery Afikaris i Paris More info about Foreignness and Friendship.   Sæson I, 10 - Episode 10 - udvidet udgave Vi har været i Paris. Det er som en drøm at være en rigtig storby – det eneste sted vi rigtig hører hjemme. I Paris deltog vi AKAA Also Known As Africa – en kunst og design messe. Her mødte vi grundlæggeren, galleristen og kunstneren. Titlen slår en legende og reflekterende tone an, og det tiltrak vores opmærksomhed. Det viste sig at være en lille og intim begivenhed, hvor man næsten følte sig del af familien så snart man trådte ind ad døren i Le Carreau du Temple som ligger i Le Marais ikke langt fra Centre Georges Pompidou. Hele udsendelsen er på engelsk af hensyn til de implicerede og den generelle internationale cirkulation.  Sendt første gang på Tremella Radio den 23.november 2021
