Ousmane Bâ +

Ousmane Bâ is a French visual artist, born and raised in Strasbourg where he earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from L’Institut Supérieur des Arts Appliqués. His practice mainly centres around drawing, painting and collage. Bâ always took an interest in Japanese art and moved to Japan in 2017 to develop his style and technique, immersing himself into a new philosophy and vision of the world.  He works mostly with ink, inspired by the art of calligraphy as well as the techniques of Japanese printmaking, including, among others, the « Moku Hanga » technique (wood print). Ousmane Bâ has since participated in exhibitions in various Japanese galleries such as Studio Gross, Fukagawa garage and Trunk Hotel. Most recently he has been exhibited at the Dakar Biennale 2022.

Maliza Kiasuwa +

Maliza Kiasuwa was born in 1975 in Bucharest to a Romanian mother and Congolese father. She is a self-taught, multi-dimensional artist and a true citizen of the world. Kiasuwa was raised in Kinshasa and Brussels and currently lives on a disaffected farm by Lake Naivasha, in the heart of the Rift Valley in Kenya. She has had solo exhibitions in London and in Nairobi where she is represented by Circle Art. Kiasuwa examines questions of identity and lineage through painting, stitching and collage. She revisits old engravings representing stiff pot-bellied white paternal ancestors and reimagining them with features from traditional African art in a labor of intimate métissage, reminiscent of surrealism. She also combines handmade materials from Japan with found objects from around her farm.
