A major figure on the contemporary art scene, SAMMY BALOJI is invited by the Festival d'Automne à Paris and Beaux-Arts de Paris, as part of the Africa 2020 season, to present his first solo exhibition in a Parisian institution. His work is organized as a vast research, through the memory of the Republic of Congo, on the effects and permanence of colonial history. A set of drawings and a series of transfers on copper plates were produced from the geometric weave of Kongo weavings in raffia fibre.
