Book Club #1: The Destruction of Black Civilization by Chancellor Williams
Sat, Sep 26, 2:00 PM***African Archive Book Club #1: The Destruction of Black Civilization by Chancellor Williams*** đŹđ§ Welcome to the first meeting of the African Archive Book Club! For our inaugural meeting, we'll discuss The **Destruction of Black Civilization: Great Issues of a Race from 4500 B.C. to 2000 A.D.** by Chancellor Williams, a landmark work in Pan-African thought. In this book, Williams explores the rise of African civilisations, the richness of precolonial societies and the historical forces that shaped the continent. Challenging the idea that African history begins with slavery or colonialism, he invites us to engage with a much longer and more complex story. To get the most out of our discussion, we encourage everyone to read the book beforehand. However, if you haven't finished it, you are still very welcome to join us. Bring your questions, reflections and curiosity! **Where to find the book** We encourage members to support independent bookshops whenever possible. In Paris, you can look for the book at **Librairie PrĂ©sence Africaine** and **Librairie L'Harmattan**, which specialise in African history, literature and thought. If unavailable, it can also be ordered online from Fnac or Amazon. \-\-\- ***African Archive Book Club #1 : The Destruction of Black Civilization de Chancellor Williams*** đ«đ· Bienvenue Ă la premiĂšre rencontre de l'African Archive Book Club !

Afin de profiter pleinement de la discussion, nous encourageons les participants Ă lire le livre avant la rencontre. Cependant, si vous ne l'avez pas terminĂ©, vous ĂȘtes tout de mĂȘme les bienvenus. Venez avec vos questions, vos rĂ©flexions et votre curiositĂ© ! **OĂč trouver le livre ?** *La traduction française est disponible sous le titre La Destruction de la Civilisation Noire.* Nous encourageons les membres Ă soutenir les librairies indĂ©pendantes lorsque cela est possible.

Books & Coffee: Small Books, Lasting Impressions
Sun, Sep 20, 2:00 PM"Some books are small enough to hold in one hand, but big enough to stay with you for a lifetime." Hi everyone! In this session, weâll be exploring short books that say a lot in very few pages; books that, despite their length, will stay with us for a long time! This is a themed session, so you can bring any short book that youâve enjoyed, found memorable, or simply think deserves to be talked about. It can be a novella, a short novel, a collection of short stories, or anything else that fits the spirit of the theme. Thereâs no required reading or a strict page limit, but the idea is simply to bring along a small book that left a big impression on you (but that preferably can be finished in a day, or to get you out of a reading slump.) đ As always, feel free to bring along a physical copy of your book for our tradition of a group photo and to share the joy of the cover with others! đ **P.S.** This is a small book club, and your absence can make a big difference! Please sign up only if you really plan to make it, and cancel well in advance if your plans change so that others will have a chance to join as well. Thank you\~ đč

"Eternel Tintoret" - Jacquemart-André (nocturne du vendredi)
Fri, Sep 18, 5:45 PMChers tous ! Une grande exposition consacrĂ©e au "Tintoret" : "Jacomo Robusti, surnommĂ© « Tintoretto » en rĂ©fĂ©rence au mĂ©tier de teinturier de son pĂšre, sâimpose comme lâune des figures majeures de la peinture du XVIe siĂšcle. Il demeure toute sa vie Ă Venise, oĂč son ambition trouve un terrain fertile : câest dans cette ville au fort rayonnement artistique que se dĂ©roule sa carriĂšre exceptionnellement longue. Si sa formation demeure mal connue, il sâaffirme dĂšs la fin des annĂ©es 1540 avec des commandes prestigieuses comme le *Miracle de lâesclave* (1548). Avec lâappui dâun vaste atelier, il domine, dans la seconde moitiĂ© du siĂšcle, le marchĂ© des grands cycles dĂ©coratifs destinĂ©s aux institutions de la ville, comme le Palais des Doges (fresque du *Paradis*, Ă partir de 1588) ou la Scuola Grande di San Rocco (de 1564 Ă 1588). RĂ©vĂ©lant toute la modernitĂ© de son art, lâexposition met en lumiĂšre la singularitĂ© dâun artiste dotĂ© dâune incroyable Ă©nergie crĂ©atrice, et que Vasari voyait comme le « plus terrible esprit que la peinture nâait jamais connu » (1568)." Pour acheter votre billet (crĂ©neau (20h) : https://www.musee-jacquemart-andre.com/fr/tickets/6a280a225308177b77141dd9 Puis, pour ceux qui le souhaitent, nous irons dans une brasserie dans les alentours pour discuter, boire, manger, Ă©changer... Enfin, assurez-vous, je vous prie de vos intentions de participation. Bien Ă vous, bel Ă©tĂ©, belles escapades artistiques aussi ! JĂ©lila PS : comme souvent avec le MusĂ©e Jacquemart-AndrĂ©, il est trĂšs conseillĂ© d'acheter son billet le plus tĂŽt possible.
