Launching ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics to coincide with an immersive expo organised by professional footballer Youssouf Fofana, this project explores the African diaspora in the city’s 18th arrondissement, in particular creatives connected to Senegal and West Africa, looking at how sport and shared culture can create community. From the football matches at Square Leon, where aunties sell their crafts and foods to onlookers, to Senegalese textile and embroidery and new takes on classic French cuisine, the magazine examines ideas around a synthesis of French identity, where the children of immigrants espouse a creative expression based on their blended heritage.
