The Corentyne Cottage house opens its doors with a group of artists from the Motherland and her diaspora. CUTTING TIES AND MENDING FENCES is a study of contemporary life by artists whose practice constitute the tip of a wealth of concepts and narratives being created today. Turning their inner eye to the conditions, fantasies and mendacities of our current state of affairs. We have the opportunity to discuss with the guidance of curator Khalifa Dieng (Senegal) what current trends are happening in West Africa. Including the return of portraits and the painterly approach.
