The 15th edition of the Dak’Art marked the spirits, and certain artistic projects remain memorable, like Piloha, Pascal Traoré and Raïssa Hachem, who proposed a cultural cocktail reconciling several forms of expression. A composite exhibition, not to say eclectic.
Through their artistic project Wei’iPascal Traoré and Raïssa Hachem managed to bring together several artistic disciplines as part of the 15th Biennale of contemporary African art. From painting to photography, including dance, cinema and even cooking, their exhibition has captured the attention of the public.
In this interview, the two artists – Raïssa Hachem, Luminaire designer, and Pascal Traoré, visual artist – come back to their experience with the project Peace, Love and Harmony (Wei’i), presented as part of the off.
-If, from a financial point of view, the initial objective was not to generate profits, they nevertheless gained visibility. Their meeting with gallery owners, collectors and other cultural actors made it possible to expand their professional network.
This original exhibition, rich in emotions, marked the visitors and perfectly reflects the diversity and the harmony that the two artists wanted to transmit.
