The Portuguese artist Ana Carvalho presents the Africa in Lisbon exhibition, depicting the presence and impact of African culture in Lisbon, while African artist José Pereira, based in Cape Verde, presents the Ubuntu exhibition, promoting a way of peaceful co-existence, acceptance of differences and solidarity.

On 2 March, the EESC launched the joint Africa–EU photography exhibition at a virtual event which included Cillian Lohan, Vice-President for Communication, Carlos Trindade, Chair of the ACP-EU Follow-up Committee, and the two photographers.

As Mr Trindade said, "Because culture expresses the shared values and affections of a community with common interests, the purpose of this cultural activity is to highlight the importance attached by the EESC to the upcoming EU-Africa Summit while bringing into the spotlight the deeply-rooted connection between the two continents.''

The joint photography exhibition will be completely virtual and will be accessible online from 1 to 31 March 2021.

The exhibition can be seen here and on the EESC's social media channels. Don't miss it! (ck)
