Filafriques
About
Contemporary African Art Gallery in Geneva
Filafriques is a contemporary African art gallery in Geneva, founded and directed by Carine Biley, a gallerist of French-Ivorian heritage. It is a Black-woman-owned gallery operating on a Geneva–Abidjan axis, dedicated to bringing art from across the African continent and its diaspora to a European audience.
What began as pop-up presentations has grown into an established space on Boulevard James-Fazy, with international visibility through features in CNN, Whitewall, and Artsy. The gallery serves collectors and visitors across Geneva and the wider Romandie region.

Cultural Value in Geneva
Filafriques gives Geneva a rare, focused window onto contemporary African art, backed by real curatorial authority rather than novelty. Collectors gain access to vetted artists and a director with a strong network across the continent and the diaspora, while visitors get a cultural experience the city doesn’t otherwise offer. Selection for the 1-54 fair and coverage in major international press give buyers confidence, and the central Boulevard James-Fazy location makes the gallery an accessible cultural anchor for Geneva and the wider Romandie region.
