After four years of existence here in Antananarivo,
Hakanto Contemporary is now moving to this new playground to confirm our commitment to Madagascar
and, above all, to the artists.
A new place to leave more room for emotions despite uncertain times.
A new, larger space for artists to express their desires and convictions.
In the wake of this expansion, we are also inaugurating new approaches: the creation of a specific Hakanto Studio space for workshops, a part of the site dedicated to Resaka Hakanto conversations, and a new Hakanto Shop.
Hakanto Contemporary has also become a publisher, with Hakanto Edition and, above all, a new season-based program.
Introducing the inaugural season HISTOIRES DE FAMILLE, featuring six multi-faceted exhibitions :
THE GRIEF, a sound exhibition by Aude Onivola Rajaona in which she evokes family memories from a birthday party to a fara‑veloma.
LE CORPS DES VOLANTS À SIX ÉTAGES, Jessy Razafimandimby’s first solo show in Madagascar, transports us into his different visions between fianakaviana fendrofendro sa ve ampinga paradisa?
AVEC ELLES, Alexandre Gourçon’s first solo exhibition, in which he evokes the heritage of his two grandmothers, but above all the local asa tanana.
MOTHER, a discussion between Asma Ben Aissa and
Elie Ramanankavana to talk about the mother, Mama a!
THIS IS MY HOME, a selection of artworks from the Collection Yavarhoussen. An intimate, imaginary vocabulary of a home with no geography except that of lightness.
And last but not least, JOELY SY ANDY, an original dialogue between Andy Warhol and Joely, our Malagasy spokesman for contemporary era.
This inaugural cycle examines the notion of the family as a life force and source of inspiration, but also as a burden on
the expansion of our being.
May Hakanto Contemporary always breathe on our hearts and especially in our current time!
