'Kehinde Wiley: Painter of the Epic' at Centre d'art La Malmaison, Cannes is the first major survey of the African-American artist's work in France. Curated by Numa Hambursin, the exhibition brings together almost thirty works to demonstrate the complex visual vocabulary that has guided Wiley's practice for over a decade. 

Black Rock Senegal is partnering with Dr. Abdou Karim Diop, director of Centre de Santé Philippe Senghor Yoff and head of the West Health District of Dakar, and with the Association des Femmes de la Cité Biagui et Toundourya (AFBET) for the donation of 700 masks to combat the spread of COVID-19 in Senegal.

Featuring 90 contemporary artworks by 35 renowned American artists, 'The World Stage' showcases some of today’s global influencers alongside prominent names from the 20th-century art canon. The exhibition title is borrowed from a celebrated series of paintings by African-American artist Kehinde Wiley.
