Cameroonian artist Barthélémy Toguo lights up the Moroccan art scene with his new work, “Stronger Together”. This captivating exhibition, scheduled at the Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, promises a moving and spectacular celebration of the art of Moroccan ceramics.

The thematic creativity explored by Barthélémy Toguo in “Stronger Together” was inspired during his recent artistic residency organized by the Mohammed VI Museum. Visitors will have the opportunity to discover local art through the skilful and innovative eyes of the Cameroonian artist.

Although this is his first foray onto the Moroccan art scene, Barthélémy Toguo is already familiar with the area, having participated in the 1-54 Art Fair and exhibited at Galerie 38. Since 2023, this meticulously prepared solo exhibition has strengthened the special ties between the African artist and Morocco.

Barthélémy Toguo, renowned for his boundless creativity, describes himself as an artist without borders, exploring various mediums and themes while leaving room for an ever-evolving artistic universe. “I’m not an artist locked into one medium or subject,” he says, “even if certain themes recur regularly, my work draws up a universe without frontiers“. His works are inspired by his environment and the cultures that surround him, giving rise to unique and varied creations that testify to his ability to immerse himself in his creative context.

“Stronger Together” embodies this artistic approach, subtly blending the geometric motifs of Moroccan craftsmanship with elements celebrating life, the human and the animal.
