Resonance in Displacement - Unearthing the Soul of Diasporic Artefacts

Drums adorned with the vivid pigments of ancestral dances, chairs bearing engravings steeped in the weight of centuries, and baskets woven with the artistry of calligraphy—all once integral to our homelands, now resting in Western homes.

In this dedicated journey, led by our custodian, Zaïra Florance Pourier, who has meticulously curated these objects from various sources, we unveil the stories etched into each grain of wood and thread of fabric, exploring the soft language of craftsmanship and the resonance of diaspora. This endeavour captures not only objects but the sonorous echoes of history, melodies and conversations traversing continents, weaving a tapestry of memory, and offering a deeper resonance, an intimate connection to our origins.

"Resonance in Displacement" seeks to emphasise the enduring significance of these artefacts, harmonising in the space between displacement and belonging.
