Revue Noire
African Contemporary art Magazine
1991-2001
.
a conversation with N’Goné Fall, Simon Njami,
Jean Loup Pivin, Pascal Martin Saint Leon,
moderator Raison Naidoo
.
Responding to the invisibility of contemporary African art in exhibitions and institutions in Paris and over the world at the end of the 1980s, Revue Noire was founded in 1991 to demonstrate that artists and contemporary African art were alive and well.
.
The magazine of contemporary African art further illustrated the history and contribution of African artists in various disciplines – visual artists, filmmakers, writers, musicians, photographers, designers, etc. – to the international arts scene.
.
From East to West, from North to South, the entire African continent is covered, including northern Arabic-speaking countries, the islands of the Indian Ocean from Madagascar to the Seychelles, the Caribbean islands, countries with strong African presence such as Brazil, Canada, and major cities such as London and Paris. Some issues have a transversal approach dealing with disciplines such as photography, dance, cinema, fashion or social events such as urban city, cooking, AIDS…
