In Abidjan, Galerie Cécile Fakhoury is pleased to announce two group exhibitions: Le seuil de nos azurs, on view from October 9 to November 8, as a prelude to L’Eau-tel, a new exhibition by the collective L’école de l’eau.
What if the exhibition space became the site of silent questioning, urging us to consider, through multiple readings, the manifestations of our everyday lives and habits? Gathered around a visual symphony, the works would then summon signs from our pasts and presents, and under faint glimmers of light, invite us to probe ancestral memories—those that precede us, inhabit us, or are still to come.
As heralds of our illuminations, azure and water emerge here as guiding threads of an intimate journey, a meditative wandering through our environments within an eco-political perspective.
Le seuil de nos azurs is a group exhibition featuring Thibaut Bouedjoro-Camus, Eva Diallo, François-Xavier Gbré, Yo-Yo Gonthier, Fanny Irina, Elladj Lincy Deloumeaux, Marie-Claire Messouma Manlanbien, Cheikh Ndiaye, and Kassou Seydou. It invites a profound reflection on the intersection of our social and natural selves. A symbol with multiple facets, azure—whether sky, air, or water—takes form in this body of work as serenity, hope, and purity, embodied in the notions of sharing, solidarity, and generosity.
