Last days to visit the exhibition Black is Beautiful by photographer Kwame Brathwaite, who created an entire aesthetic around this expression specific to the African American community. To conclude in style on Sunday, January 18, the exhibition welcomes Sonic Wave Studio Recording, represented by Pascale Obolo (filmmaker-researcher, independent curator, and editor-in-chief of the art magazine Afrikadaa), for an original musical event. The Photography Center becomes a studio for experimentation and performance where sounds are no longer just heard, but embodied, experienced, and shared. The space is transformed into a place of creation but also of healing, where sound waves contribute to a collective reclamation and healing.

Until January 18, 2026. On the last day, from 14 p.m. to 21 p.m., free entry for the closing event..
