Nuits Balnéaires
Nuits Balnéaires is an Ivorian multidisciplinary artist born and raised in Abidjan in a large Akan Agni-bona and Malinké family. Currently based in Grand-Bassam, his practice explores territories and exile, the passage of time and nostalgia, the social structures and mechanisms that underpin the multiculturalism existing along the current Gulf of Guinea region. Over the years, his works on the cultures and social structure of the N’Zima people of Grand-Bassam have opened him to a new perspective of the collective imaginary of Côte d’Ivoire. Through his photo practice he shares stories intimately rooted in tradition and culture. Nuits Balnéaires’ work has been exhibited internationally including at ART X Lagos, 1-54 Contemporary art fair in Paris Christie’s, and FNB Art Johannesburg.
