For its eighth edition, AKAA is highlighting curatorial practice in the  context of a fair and its market. Lead by Artistic Director, Armelle  Dakouo, a number of invitations have been extended to curators and  artists to present projects, installations and critical pieces that  question curatorial practice and the stakes it defends, enabling  critical thought regarding the artist’s approach while giving them  access to different types of exhibition space and thus, of expression.  Curatorial practice contributes by shifting its impact, to the  visibility of an artist, a scene and/or an artistic community.  Curatorial practice makes a lasting contribution to the artist’s career  and growth.
