Self-Continuity is a unique collaboration, based in Paris, between the art gallery AFIKARIS and an international group of students pursuing an MBA in Contemporary Art at IESA arts & culture. Further, the project will only come to life with the participation of galleries: 31 Project and Fisheye Gallery.

Our project explores the interconnections between one’s past, present and future to gather a collective consciousness. A collective manifestation deeply rooted in individual awareness and universal values to ensure a harmonious future.

The subject is perceived through the eyes of contemporary artists from Africa and its diaspora. Self-Continuity aims at exploring art derived from the sphere of community values existing in the lands of the artists. Traveling from Africa, continent composed of 54 countries equal a variety of diverse cultures, histories, religions, politics and environment. The works intend to evoke questions of self-identity, retaining harmony and relations within and between communities.
