05.10.2017 LISTEN

The second edition of the Also Known As Africa (AKAA) fair is scheduled for November 10 to 12 2017 in Paris, France.

The fair will bring together a selection of remarkable photographic works that are all very different in style.

From the majestic portraits by the Ethiopian artist Aida Muluneh to the new creations by young Burkinabe Siaka Soppo Traoré, award winner of AKAA 2016 prize for digital art, discoveries are guaranteed.

The photographic world is undergoing a rapid transformation in Africa: its dynamism and accessibility resonate to the four corner of the world through quality events and institutions.

The Bamako Encounters, LagosPhoto, or Addis Foto Fest are important artistic platforms. With these events, the market is now structured and artists finally have the opportunity to exhibit not only internationally but also locally, in Africa.

List of photographers include Campbell Addy - Malala Andrialavidrazana - Hicham Benohoud - Girma Berta - Nicola Brandt - Joana Choumali - Colin Delfosse - Justin Dingwall - Franck Abd-Bakar Fanny - Hicham Gardaf - Thomas Hoeffgen - Januario Jano - Eyerusalem Adugna Jirenga - Keyezua - Grant Legassick - Nicola Lo Calzo - Aida Muluneh - Thom Pierce - Ndongo Mukongo Sueki - Siaka Soppo Traoré - Michael Tsegaye  - David Uzochukwu - Patrick Willocq
