Afikaris,offthewalls:carryingAfricancreationelsewhere

A conversation with the Afikaris collective on the need to shift the gaze and circulate works beyond institutional boundaries.

Within Maison Gacha, every encounter becomes material to pass on. The gesture, the voice, the silence of a workshop — everything converges towards one intention: preserving and keeping alive these contemporary languages from the African continent.

Between Bandjoun and Paris, the threads stretch. Works travel, artisans converse with curators, visitors in turn become carriers of a story. A slow, sensitive circulation that steps away from market logics to favour the accuracy of the bond.

This report is only one step — a snapshot of a practice that keeps unfolding, season after season, to the rhythm of artisanal seasons and exhibition seasons.
