Music show: Laura Prince retraces her African roots on 'Adjoko'
From the show
In this edition of our arts24 music show, Jennifer Ben Brahim chats with Franco-Togolese singer Laura Prince. She's just released her second album "Adjoko", a voyage between memory, identity and authenticity. "Adjoko" is Laura's Togolese name, and symbolises her quest to reconnect with her African roots. She produced the record between France, Togo and Ouidah in Benin, a port town famous for its dark role in the slave trade. She also references her West African links to slavery through her name Laura Prince. It's an homage to author Mary Prince, the first Black woman to publish a book about her experiences as a slave.

Outsider art: Two African artists somewhat lost amid the vast Decharme collection in Paris
One Beninese and one Angolan: These were the only African artists represented – among the 156 men and women – at the Grand Palais in Paris for the exhibition "Art brut. The Decharme donation to the Centre Pompidou". Eight works (four by each artist) out of the 402 on display through September 21. "Outsider art is outsider art and everyone understands that perfectly well," said painter Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985) in 1947, who coined the term and amassed a significant collection. This movement does not belong to the fine arts, nor is it necessarily shown in the usual venues dedicated to artistic creation, such as art schools or studios. It escapes artistic movements and stylistic influences. It refuses to be boxed into any category and resists all attempts at definition. It exists "elsewhere." Ezekiel Messou was born in Benin in 1971. A less-than-diligent student, he fled an authoritarian father – a significant religious figure in his village – and settled in Nigeria at age 16. From 1990 to 1995 in Lagos, he learned to repair sewing machines. Upon returning to Benin, he continued to live and work in Abomey, a city in the south of the country, where he opened his own sewing machine repair shop. 'Solitary prophets' In the back room, on school notebooks and A4 sheets of paper, he cataloged models of sewing machines. His early drawings took on the rigid style of technical diagrams. Gradually, Ezekiel Messou adopted representations reminiscent of a bestiary with plant-like curves. Once the drawing was finished, he stamped it with his workshop seal, "E ts qui sait l'avenir. Le Machinistre" ("Est. who knows the future. The Machinistre"), which, according to him, certified his authorship. A form of copyright: "No one can steal my drawings." For Bruno Decharme, collector, filmmaker, and co-curator of the exhibition, "Many outsider artists are outcasts, exiled in a psychic reality splattered with stars, who feel invested with a secret mission. Solitary prophets, strangers to the art world and its teachings, outside the norm, they accumulate, decipher, draw, build, and organize a universe whose geography, structure, and forms they invent." For him, outsider art is "a kind of toolbox, a useful notion for looking where art history has rarely chosen to look. Observing the ever-evolving margins from which the most inventive works of these uniquely styled artists emerge." The defining moment came in 1976, with the discovery of the collection donated to the city of Lausanne by Dubuffet, who began his "prospecting" in Swiss psychiatric hospitals in 1945. At that time, Decharme was studying philosophy, with professors including Gilles Deleuze and Michel Foucault, as well as psychoanalysts Jacques Lacan and Félix Guattari, who "at that time, were deconstructing the structures of Western societies, decoding and challenging ideological norms." 'A savage freedom' He emphasized: "I found in the works of outsider art artistic answers to questions I had explored in philosophy – a relationship to otherness, but also to mystery and the unseen. These works, which bear witness to a savage freedom, profoundly changed my life." So why are there so few works by African artists? Primarily present in Western societies, which have developed a reflection on the margins, and the concepts of dissent or even madness, outsider art in Africa "probably corresponds to different notions than those found in our ways of thinking," explained Decharme. "But that does not mean that these cultures lack artistic expressions bearing witness to otherness. To discover them, it seems to me that we would need to conduct explorations using a different interpretative framework. Research is therefore complex." The second African artist represented at the Grand Palais comes from Angola: anonymous, nothing is known about his life. His four drawings were created on the back of medical forms and were discovered in a village in Angola before being acquired by the French gallerist, collector, and art dealer Charles Ratton (1895-1986). On December 10, 1944, Dubuffet visited him and was captivated by these delicate works. He acquired one, possibly two, for the outsider art collection he was just beginning to assemble. The exhibition is designed as a gigantic kaleidoscope. From space to space – "Réparer le monde" ("Repairing the World"), "De l'ordre, nom de Dieu !" ("Order, for God's sake!") "Autour du monde" ("Around the world"), "Chimères, monstres et fantômes," ("Chimeras, monsters and ghosts"), "Danse avec les esprits" ("Dancing with spirits"), "Epopées célestes" ("Celestial epics") and more – visitors are invited to enter each artistic universe. A video feature in each section highlights the importance of these themes and recounts the meeting of the two curators (Decharme and Barbara Safarova, essayist, lecturer at the Ecole du Louvre, and researcher) with certain artists, like a travel diary. In 2021, Decharme, whose collection numbers over 6,000 works, donated 1,000 of them – produced by 242 artists – to the Centre Pompidou, thus contributing to the creation of an outsider art department previously lacking at the Musée national d'art moderne. " Art brut. The Decharme donation to the Centre Pompidou" at the Grand Palais, Avenue Winston-Churchill, 75008 Paris (the exhibition entrance is on the right when facing the building's main façade). Through September 21, 2025. Art brut, exhibition catalog (304 pages and 650 illustrations + 2 inserts for chronology and biographies, co-published by Grand Palais RMN/Centre Pompidou, €45).

In Pictures: Sacred masks and dancing fill Benin's capital
Sacred spirits met swirling colour in Porto-Novo this weekend, as performers in elaborate wooden masks and flowing fabrics danced through the streets during Benin's annual traditional mask festival – seen here through the lens of photographer Sunday Alamba. The lively event brought together sacred and secular mask traditions from across Benin and the surrounding region, aiming to both honour ancient customs and position Porto-Novo as a rising star on the West African cultural tourism map. Closely tied to the Yoruba, Somba, and Betammaribe communities, many of the masks – like Egungun and Zangbeto – represent ancestral spirits that guard communities and connect the living with the spiritual world. As drummers filled the air with rhythm, costumed performers acted out stories passed down through generations. While rooted in Vodun heritage, the festival also offers a broader cultural experience. Visitors explored a bustling festival village featuring local crafts and regional cuisine, and enjoyed concerts and parades. Organised with backing from Benin's Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Arts, the event is part of a growing effort to boost the country's visibility on the international cultural stage. With attendees from neighbouring countries, Europe, and beyond, the festival is fast becoming a highlight on Benin's cultural calendar.

Belgian music festival under pressure over Franco-Israeli billing
Les Francofolies de Spa, a staple of Belgium's summer music festival season since 1994, is at the heart of a growing controversy mere days before it starts. The four-day event, which aims to promote francophone artists, kicks off tomorrow and one planned set on Friday is fueling concern - that of Franco-Israeli singer Amir, a former contestant on The Voice and France's Eurovision representative in 2016. His presence on the billing has angered several other artists who are also due to perform at the festival, who have expressed their unease at Amir's perceived pro-Israel stance. Artists like Lovelace, Nicou, CHOSE and Mado have signed a statement denouncing the singer's presence: 'As artists scheduled to perform at the Francofolies de Spa, we strongly disagree with the decision to programme Amir.' As for Franco-Swiss singer Yoa, she has cancelled her participation (also originally set for Friday) altogether, citing her 'social, political and humanist" convictions which dictate that she should not 'share the stage with an artist who does not recognise the ongoing genocide in Palestine, and who has taken part in events organised in support of the Israeli army.' Indeed, Amir took part in an event in Hebron, an Israeli settlement that is illegal under international law, in 2014. Artists have also referred to his attendance at an evening in support of IDF soldiers, organised by Yoni Chetboun - an MP for the far-right Habayit Hayehudi (The Jewish Home) party. In the wake of Yoa walking away from the festival, two other artists announced that they too were withdrawing from the Francofolies de Spa: Brussels DJ RaQL and activist DJ LibraRomea. Amir's label has denounced "an outpouring of anti-Semitic hatred" and posted its support for the singer on Instagram. As for the organisers of the Francofolies de Spa, interviewed by public service broadcaster for the French-speaking Community of Belgium RTBF, they said they had received "numerous messages calling for Amir to be deprogrammed." "In a dramatic context, it is understandable that citizens and artists should question us about the commitments of an artist on the bill", said the organisers. "We are outraged by the ongoing tragedy in Gaza and deeply shocked by the unacceptable suffering inflicted on the civilian population." However, the festival seems to be maintaining Amir's concert, as they are unable to 'morally assess the entirety of his personal trajectory or access the innermost depths of his convictions'. This comes at a time when tensions surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are regularly overshadowing European music festivals. For instance, this year's Glastonbury festival in the UK courted controversy over sets by Kneecap and Bob Vylan. This led to the BBC (the festival's official broadcaster) facing pressure from the UK government – and ultimately leading to the BBC's director of music having to step down over the scandal. Les Francofolies de Spatakes place in Spa, Belgium, from 17 - 20 July 2025.
