SONG E YOON: SONGS ACROSS TIME

The exhibition brings into dialogue the practices of Song E Yoon and Frédéric Bruly Bouabré, who passed away in 2014 and is known for devising the Bété alphabet in the 1960s, a syllabic system of over 400 signs created to preserve the culture of his people. Alongside this body of work, Song draws on rock engravings, mythological symbols, and constellations to shape, through large-scale drawings and immersive installations, visual maps that investigates the human need for orientation and meaning.
