Programme
Fushikaden, Issei Suda
t is in the harsh summer light that the most emblematic scenes of the Fushikaden series (1970s) are steeped. In Tokyo and in more remote provinces, Issei Suda roams traditional popular festivals.
The exhibition is organized in partnership with le Centre d’art GwinZegal in Guingamp and the Galerie Akio Nagasawa in Tokyo.
Black is beautiful, Kwame Brathwaite
While almost everyone may be familiar with the expression ‘Black is beautiful,’ few people know who made it popular. It is to the African American photographer Kwame Brathwaite that we owe not just a slogan, but a true aesthetic in the 1960s. Drawing inspiration from jazz, funk, and blues, he set up events, such as fashion shows, that asserted the heritage of the African continent and the aspirations of the African American minority.
In partnership with the Kwame Brathwaite Archive. This exhibition takes part of the Rencontres d’Arles as part of the Grand Arles Express manifestation.
