Ndayé Kouagou: 'Heaven’s truth' at Collezione Maramotti

Dates: 3 May – 26 July 2026
Venue: Collezione Maramotti, Reggio Emilia

The solo exhibition by Ndayé Kouagou brings together word, image and performance to examine change and its effects. The artist combines writing, video and performative gestures to pose questions that remain open rather than providing clear answers.

Highlights

• A coin is a coin (2022): a video installation exploring change and the potency of questioning.
• Text-based installations where writing functions as a primary artistic medium.
• Performative moments that play with language—phrases composed, deconstructed and recomposed as part of a linguistic choreography.

Why go

The show is a chance to encounter a contemporary practice that blends visual experience with verbal expression. It appeals to visitors interested in works that mix aesthetics, reflection and a performative approach marked by irony and play.
