For this 100% digital edition, LouiSimone Guirandou Gallery presents the Racines exhibition, a selection of works by three African artists, Nù Barreto (Guinea Bissau), N'Doye Douts (Senegal) and Dimbeng (Ivory Coast). According to a gallery brochure, each of these artists, "with their own words and techniques, develops a plastic vocabulary with a common theme: uprooting, physical distancing and the disarray of exile". Well-known artists from the African continent, Nù Barreto, Ntoye Douts and Dimbeng put in abysses the sufferings and fallen hopes which are the common lot of these young people who left towards a new El Dorado never reached.
