ACT—AXIAN COMMUNITIES TEAM

Launched in January 2021, the ACT – AXIAN Communities Team program allows employees of the AXIAN Group to become ‘ACTers’ by exercising skills-based volunteering during actions organized in the field by the AXIAN Foundation or partner organizations either in support of AXIAN subsidiaries’ corporate CSR programs or the Foundation’s proprietary projects.

The AXIAN Foundation’s objectives for 2023 are:

  • Continue to deploy the programs the Foundation has implemented since its creation while also strengthening their long-term impact.
  • Expand the AXIAN Foundation to the group’s recent countries of establishment, namely Tanzania and CĂ´te d’Ivoire.
  • Make the ACT initiative accessible to a larger number of employees in Africa.

H FOUNDATION

The H Foundation is a Malagasy private foundation that supports artistic creation from the African continent. It was established in Antananarivo in 2017 by Hassanein Hiridjee, CEO of the AXIAN Group, who believes in the positive impact of art and culture in fostering a critical openness to the world.

Recognized as a public utility foundation since 2018, the H Foundation opened its first exhibition space in Antananarivo, Madagascar, in 2019, followed by a second space in Paris, France, in 2020.

These two spaces aim to showcase emerging and established artists from the African continent and the diaspora through a program of temporary exhibitions and cosmopolitan events that promote cultural dialogue and community engagement.

Madagascar

As the first private foundation for contemporary art in Madagascar, the H Foundation has an exhibition space established in 2019 within a historic building in downtown Antananarivo. A new 2,200 square meter exhibition hall was inaugurated in 2023 to further enhance the visibility and influence of African artists.

France

An extension of the ambitions and philosophy embraced in Madagascar, the Parisian branch of the H Foundation is part of a select group of nonprofit artistic institutions dedicated to promoting the African art scene and diasporas in France.
