Le Juju hat est un objet cérémoniel de l'Ouest du Cameroun, chez le peuple bamiléké. Il est fait de raphia et d'innombrables plumes. Il arrive fermé, telle une gerbe contenue, puis il s'ouvre, prend vie, dévoilant le travail des artisans. À son tour, Capucine Minot pose les plumes une par une sur le papier. Chacune a sa propre matrice, sa propre histoire. Ensemble, elles forment cette coiffe royale. Une coiffe qui couve autant qu'elle couronne. Elle l'a nommée Mafo, la reine-mère : celle qui porte le royaume, celle qui porte l'humanité.

EN
The Juju hat is a ceremonial object from western Cameroon, among the Bamileke people. It is made of raffia and countless feathers. It arrives closed, like a contained sheaf, then opens and comes to life, revealing the work of the craftsmen. In turn, Capucine Minot places the feathers one by one onto the paper. Each has its own matrix, its own story. Together, they form this royal headdress. A headdress that both shelters and crowns. She named it Mafo, the queen mother: the one who carries the kingdom, the one who carries humanity.
