The Festival starts on April 16th and runs through the 22nd. For further info, visit: www.colcoa.org
In search of Utopia in the poor suburbs of Paris, Chantal Briet took her camera and went to Épinay-sur-Seine, a run-down multi-ethnic housing project. Over four years, she filmed at Ali’s, a unique grocery store where people find warmth and a sense of community missing in their bleak surroundings. The General Store is a story of urban alienation, hope and dignity, all the more relevant after the 2005 riots in Paris suburbs.

Originally from Ghana but living in Nigeria since 1975, El Anatsui is one of Africa's most influential artists, recently named by Britain's The Independent as one of the fifty greatest cultural figures shaping the continent. His work dwells on the continent's history, drawing simultaneously on traditional African idioms and contemporary western art. This exhibition includes eight large-scale works that make use of large quantities of discarded everyday objects such as bottle tops, flattened food tins, and cassava graters woven together to create magnificent sculptural 'tapestries,' which recall the Ghanaian tradition of weaving kente cloth.
