The CAAC is currently collaborating with Louis Vuitton and Edun in an exhibition called “Africa Rising” – an event taking place during Paris Fashion Week, October 6th - 18th.

Edun is the ethical clothing label founded by U2 singer Bono and his wife in 2005 to encourage trade with Africa. The Africa Rising exhibition will feature works from Jean Pigozzi’s African art collection, including sculptures from artist George Lilanga as well as some never before displayed prints from the photographer Seydou Keïta.
