ArtParis Artfair renews its commitment to the approach of Designing Hope that brings together humanitarian action and the art world.

Thanks to the contribution of contemporary artists and international figures, Designing Hope develops campaigns to prevent and fight against discrimination, declining a work and an appropriate message on various media.

Curated by Revue Noire, the works presented at the booth of “Dessine l’Espoir” have been donated by African artists in support of the cause: Joel Andrianomearisoa (visual art), Alain Polo (photography), Temandrota (visual art), Abdoulaye Konaté (visual art), Boris Nzebo (visual and graphic art) and Dorris Haron Kasco (photography).

All the works presented at the fair are on sale with all proceeds to go to “Dessine l’Espoir” which implements public outreach and information campaigns on HIV/AIDS, mainly in southern Africa, with the participation of artists and international celebrities.

Founded in 1991, Revue Noire is not only a magazine, it's also a publisher of reference books and reserved editions and a gallery called “La Maison Revue Noire” which represents mainly artists from the African continent. Since its creation, Revue Noire is committed to great African causes, including the fight against AIDS.

The objectives of these campaigns are to promote prevention education and combat exclusion and discrimination that can be experienced by people living with HIV-AIDS. Designing Hope's presentation brochure
