Bandiagara at the beginning of the Blachère collection

This title hides nothing that hasn't already been said. It is a space, a place, dedicated to memory and wonder, to the discovery of a history that suggests to the spectator a sensitive exploration of the context in which we invite him to immerse himself. An immobile journey in the company of 24 artists, a collector and his collection. Jean Paul Blachere's first trip to the Dogon country on the Bandiagara cliffs was an initiatory revelation.
