Paris is an Arab capital. Jack Lang, president of the Arab World Institute, thinks so as well.

From September 13th through November 12th, 2017, eight spaces are taken over: the Institute of the Arab World, the European House of Photography, the Cité Internationale des Arts, City Hall in Paris’s 4th arrondissement, Galerie Binome, Galerie Clémentine de la Féronnière, Photo12 Galerie, and Galerie Thierry Marlat.
