Residency

GALERIE FARAH FAKHRI hosts residency programmes, inviting artists from the continent and the African diaspora to immerse themselves in the vibrant artistic community of Ivory Coast.

 

Providing a springboard for the development of their artistic practice through substantial research opportunities, the residency will result in the creation of a new body of work that will be presented at the gallery. The aim is to position local artists, and artists of the African continent, the african diaspora and the Caribbeans in dialogue with international audiences and creativess. Fakhri’s ambition for the gallery is to expand beyond its walls and extend to offsite projects where established artists are presented alongside the most vanguard practices.

 

Fakhri elaborates: «When I founded my residency program in 2022, it was to provide the foundations of an infrastructure that encouraged ongoing dialogue between artists from the continent with artists from the diaspora. It has been a long-term ambition of mine to open a space that showcases contemporary art from Africa, and my hopes are that it grows to become a cultural hub for creative discussion, networking, and artistic support within Africa and the international community.»

 

The gallery aims to provide a platform to foster cultural exchange through residency and educational programs and to serve as a vibrant hub for artists, collectors, and art enthusiasts.
