Association TOUT ART UN SENS worked on their performative exhibition in Villa Karo. During their residency, artistic director Donatien Sodegla, together with photographer Irénée Vodinou and visual artist Jérémi Sanou, developed their performative exhibition project MON MARI EST CAPABLE that commemorates women, their skills and know-how and their key role in the transmission of traditions and collective memory.
As the trio embarks on their quest to explore the vast and rich history and symbolism behind the traditional African cloth, “le pagne”, a handicraft that carries on history, tales and traditions from one generation to the next, they meet passionate people of the field along the way who each share a fragment of the history, memory or skill tied to the tradition.
During their stay, we had the pleasure to witness their objective of creating a piece of work where art, memory and identity entwine and where women fill the forefront that they deserve coming to life. Their work encompasses a true celebration of women as the guardians of the traditions and the driving force in cultural and social development. The exhibition is planned for 2026.
Thank you Toutartunsens for your stay!
