Quai Branly Museum in Paris

Exhibition in Paris

Just as New Caledonia, the furthest-flung French territory, is about to embark on the final steps for 

self-determination, the Quai Branly museum in Paris has timely put together a rich and wide-ranging exhibition of the art and culture of the archipelago’s indigenous Kanak population that reveals a people debunking 160 years of colonialism and redefining themselves. Joseph Confavreux outlines the 

political context of the show, and calls on anthropologist Alban Bensa, an authority on Kanak culture, 

to decode the exhibition’s vast array of exhibits.
The exhibition started on 15th of Oct. but runs till 26th of January.
