WAAU – World African Artists United is pleased to share an interview with Christophe Person, director of the eponymous gallery dedicated to contemporary African art.
In this conversation, Person reflects on the development of his gallery, from its foundation in Paris to the recent opening of a new space in Brussels. He offers thoughtful insights into the current landscape of African contemporary art and its evolving reception across the globe.
The gallery’s participation in ARCOlisboa 2025, within the curated section ‘The Shapes of the Ocean’ further underscores this growing visibility and the ongoing dialogue between artists, curators, and institutions across continents.
We are very grateful to Christophe Person for taking the time to speak with us and share his perspective.
