On June 2024, we were pleased to welcome the artist Layla Metssitane for the world premiere of the exhibition, Des Fissures et des
Mots. This exhibition, part of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, highlights unique works of art that celebrate Paralympic
athletes, true heroes and heroines of the 21st century.
It's a celebration of their courage, determination and passion, captured through the magical fusion of image and word. The
photographs on display feature the bodies of Paralympic athletes, beautifully painted in gold, symbolizing their strength, resilience and
determination. This artistic touch adds extra depth and beauty to these captivating images.
The exhibition took place in the Gallery Main 2016 (now known as Cezanne KC), at Crossroads. The exhibition was a success.

After the exhibition, we were glad to donate 12 of the pictures to KC Current Stadium. The pictures are presented here.
And in November, some of the AFKC board members went to the stadium to meet the team who welcomed and displayed our pictures.
