This workshop links the stories of artists from Asia, Africa and Latin America who worked and studied in Paris between 1945 and 1989.

By identifying hinge figures, intersecting nodes, parallel and transverse lines of connection, this collaborative research proposes a new analytical model that enables researchers to visualize south-south connections in order to conceptualize metropolises not as global points of origin or training grounds, but as spaces of intersection and flux that enable us to understand the transcultural conditions of modern art. It will focus in particular on the following points: political entanglements, pedagogical entanglements and workshop entanglements.
