The 10 Best Things To Do In Paris This Fall

"France’s leading contemporary art fair dedicated to Africa, AKAA (Also Known As Africa) reflects the continent's rich and multi-faceted identity. Now in its ninth edition, the fair explores dialogues between Africa, the Americas, and the Caribbean, with a spotlight on queer African identities with the photographic series QUEER BLACK & LOVED. With 31 African nations still criminalizing homosexuality, this exhibition is a powerful act of resistance. Held during Paris Art Week on October 18-20, AKAA offers a fresh perspective on African and Afro-descendant art, inviting discovery and dialogue beyond borders." - Rooksana Hossenally
