A centre dedicated to contemporary African culture is set to open its doors in Paris in September. The Maison des Mondes Africains – or MansA – was announced by President Emmanuel Macron in 2021, but its launch stalled due to disputes over location and budget.
"It's finally taking root in reality, after a lot of theories, a lot of things written on paper, back and forth, but nothing concrete," the centre's director Liz Gomis told French news agency AFP earlier this week.
