LV x Bono x The Motherland = Africa Rising

Paris, Oct. 6th > 18th.
The Louis Vuitton team is partnering up with Edun, the ethical clothing label created by Bono and his wife Ali, for an exhibition titled Africa Rising. It showcases five African artists that seek changes throughout creativity, passion and dynamism.



Georges Lilanga and his colourful sculptures that satirize urban life out there in Mozambique.



Angele Etoundi Essamba, whose main inspiration comes from women.




The late Seydou Keita portraying in black and white Africa in the '70s.




Nontsikelelo 'Lolo' Veleko street portraits of Johannesbourg youth.




Rising Congolese photographer Baudouin Mouanda and his pictures of the people they call the "sapeurs" in Brazzaville. It is defined as a movement "around the possession of the most expensive, most luxurious, most extravagant fashion in the world"...




The exhibit is also the occasion to expose Bono and Ali's actions, their collection for Edun, and also the duffle bag that came out from this collaboration between the couple and Louis Vuitton.

- The people we met in Africa were always full of hope, intelligence and creativity. It is important to keep in mind the opportunities you can get on that magical continent. -
