THE STORY, IN BRIEF
In Stephan Rheeder’s ART AFRICA interview, Roméo Mivekannin discussed Correspondances at Fondation H in Antananarivo ahead of its planned opening. Working with Malagasy embroiderers and metalworkers, the French-Beninese artist transformed archival imagery into textile paintings and sculptural altars. He described sewing as a form of care and the exhibition as an exchange among Benin, France and Madagascar. The project brought local craft knowledge into dialogue with his continuing exploration of representation, memory and spiritual traditions.
