Paul Kodjo : Photoromance
“Paul Kodjo : Photoromance” is the first major solo exhibition of Ivorian photographer Paul Kodjo in France. A key figure in the development of post-independence Ivorian visual culture, he was one of the first African photographers to explore the photoromance genre, not only for its narrative potential, but also for the new possibilities that cinematic language offered to the creation of still images.
I TELMAN NWÈ KI I BLÉ (SO BLACK IT TURNS BLUE)
Valérie John proposes to explore indigo blue as a material, a memory and a gesture. From Martinique to West Africa, her œuvre brings together identities and stories in assemblages that constitute sensory traces of the past.
