This event is a dream come true, a dream I did not even dare to have...
My favourite museum, the V&A in London aka the Victoria and Albert Museum in South Kensington, is organising a new monthly event in Paris.
It is called Friday Late Paris and the first one is next Friday, June the 29th, and branded Afropolitans.
It will take place at the Wanderlust, a new hot and trendy fashion and art place on Quai d'Austerlitz, Paris 13e, recently opened.
The evening will be focused on African fashion, photography, style, and aesthetic.
This will be on my last weekend in Paris before I move to London again and get to spend all my Friday evenings at the V&A.
So looking forward!
Here are the details:
"We're pleased to announce a monthly collaboration with Wanderlust - the new multi-disciplinary space set in the Docks-Cité de la Mode et du Design. On the last Friday of every month, we present Friday Late Paris.
Following it s success in London in 2011, join us for Afropolitans - an evening exploring African fashion, photography, and personal style, looking back to the image makers who captured the excitement and optimism of the 60s and 70s, and forward to the young Afropolitans who are creating a new urbane and cosmopolitan African aesthetic.
Visitors can have their portrait taken in our monochrome, Malick Sidibé-inspired photo studio, or join textile designer Emamoke Ukeleghe for a hands-on workshop, screen printing vintage-inspired designs onto Vlisco’s famous Dutch Wax fabric.
Rising British designer Adrien Sauvage will appear in conversation to discuss his Ghana-inspired A. Sauvage Black Volta collection, and we will be screening the documentaries Dolce Vita Africana and Sunday in Brazzaville. There will be a fun and interactive installation by Laurence Airline designer Laurence Chauvin-Buthaud and music from the Secousse Sound System DJs ".
