October is a time to recognise, reflect on and celebrate Black histories and contributions.

For us, it is also an opportunity to reaffirm an ongoing commitment: to create space for African and diasporic voices, support contemporary artistic practices, and keep these conversations alive throughout the year.
This October, we are pleased to continue our collaboration with Black History Month Milano and Black History Month Firenze through “Constellations”, a collective exhibition in support of Picha Art Center and the Lubumbashi Biennale.

We welcome you to visit the exhibition, discover the works, and, if you wish, contribute to the project through your support.

Introducing AKKA ROOM TAKEOVER One Room. One Artist. One Month.

A new AKKA Project that opens our Venetian space to artistic research, experimentation, and new ways of creating.
For one month, an artist takes over a room and makes it their own — developing ideas, creating new work, and allowing the process itself to become visible.
For the first edition, we welcome Mohammed El Hajoui (Mohammed El Hajoui), whose practice explores cultural memory, transformation, and the threshold between past and present.
Throughout October, the room will gradually take shape as his process unfolds.

Follow us to see how Mohammed’s takeover unfolds.

Are you an African, Afro-descendant or African diaspora artist? Would you like to take over a room in Venice for one month?

AKKA Project, in collaboration with Black History Month Milano (BHMM) and Black History Month Firenze (BHMF), presents “Constellations”, a group exhibition in support of PICHA Art Center.

Bringing together the work of JMG - STUDIO, Lamar J Robillard, Justin Randolph Thompson, Delio Jasse, Ako Atikossie, Désire Lumuna, and , “Constellations” gathers diverse voices across contemporary African and diasporic practices.

As an independent contemporary art centre dedicated to supporting artists and fostering cultural exchange in Lubumbashi and the region, PICHA plays a crucial role in the local contemporary art scene. Through the sale of works presented in the exhibition, the initiative directly supports PICHA’s ongoing programmes and activities.

Join us on September 17 from 6pm at AKKA Project Venezia to discover the featured artists and take part in this collective initiative.

Please confirm your attendance at the RSVP link in bio.

After a decade of working with artists, AKKA Project continues to deepen its commitment to research, dialogue, and long-term support.
Our practice has always been shaped by encounters: with artists, materials, places, and ideas. Today, we continue to create space for these connections to unfold through residencies, collaborations, exhibitions, and new forms of exchange.
A slower, deeper, and more attentive way of working, rooted in the same curiosity and care that have guided us from the beginning.
We shared more about this ongoing evolution in a recent conversation with ART AFRICA Magazine, reflecting on support, slowness, and the importance of looking beyond the exhibition format.

As “Glasstress” continues its dialogue with China, we look back on Osaru Obaseki’s participation in “Glasstress: The Modern Art Revolution in Venice”, a groundbreaking exhibition presented earlier this year at the Tsinghua University Art Museum in Beijing.

The work, developed during Osaru’s residency at AKKA Project Venice in collaboration with Berengo Studio 1989, emerged from a dialogue between her sculptural research and the unique possibilities offered by Murano glass.

We are proud to see this research become part of a wider international conversation around contemporary glass, contributing to a significant moment of exchange between Venice and China.
