The exhibition is funded by the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, with the support of the French Institute of South Africa, the City of Johannesburg and Museum Africa. 

The exhibition will be open to the public from 15th November 2024 to 28th February 2025 at Museum Africa: 121 Lilian Ngoyi St, Newtown, Johannesburg.
