The Black Paris Talk Series, a program of public conversations presented by Villa Albertine in 5 cities (Atlanta, Gambier, D.C., NYC, and New Orleans), draws thematic inspiration from the eponymous upcoming exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, opening in March 19, 2025. This talk series, along with Alicia Knock's residency, is organized in collaboration with the Centre Pompidou and supported by the Ford Foundation.
