In their exhibition, artists Stanley Wany and Michèle Magema propose to rethink the museum collection in the light of connections between the history of slavery, colonization and post-colonialism, in relation to their personal histories. Several questions have motivated the development of this exhibition, which offers a reflection on the various functions of museums and their relevance today.
A genuine opportunity to explore the intersections between Afrodiasporic experiences and decolonization movements through the prism of contemporary art, the exhibition challenges established museum norms and practices, while promoting a more inclusive and emancipatory representation of marginalized cultures and narratives.
As part of the CIÉCO research and research and reflection group CIÉCO, the exhibition EBOMBELI/SA OU PA WÈ is the fruit of a research residency research residency begun in September 2024.
