ACP visits Kinshasa’s Galerie Symphonie des Arts, where animal imagery and recovered materials shape contemporary objects and artworks. Gallery director Christa Göpfert describes limited and unique pieces, including an elephant made from used coffee capsules. The report connects these material experiments with Congolese biodiversity, local craft and environmental awareness.
Zeitz MOCAA announced free admission for Heritage Day on 24 September 2026, alongside activities connecting art, architecture and South African cultural heritage. The Cape Town museum’s programme included multilingual building tours, exhibition tours, creative workshops and live performances. Its education team presented the day as an invitation for new and returning audiences to explore the museum together. This is an account of the announced programme, now past.
Ahead of Paris Design Week, Africans Column previews a presentation of seven Nigerian designers in All Roads Lead to Lagos, featuring furniture, lighting and collectible objects. It connects their material experiments with manufacturing opportunities, including a lighting collaboration with Ombré. The programme’s planned return to Lagos places emphasis on building production networks rather than treating international exposure as an end in itself.
