“Paris noir” is a vibrant plunge into a cosmopolitan Paris, a place of resistance and creation, which gave rise to a wide variety of practices, from identity awareness to the search for transcultural plastic languages. From international abstractions to Afro-Atlantic abstractions, surrealism and free figuration, this historical journey reveals the importance of Afrodescendant artists in redefining modernity and postmodernity.
