Cécile Fakhoury

Galerie Cécile Fakhoury opened in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, in September 2012. In 2018, it inaugurated a new space in Dakar and a showroom in Paris. From March 2020, it developed Project Space Abidjan, dedicated to forward-looking programming. In October 2021, the gallery opened a new exhibition space in Paris’s Matignon district at 104 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.

The gallery promotes contemporary art from Africa and the Diaspora, celebrating the continent’s artistic diversity and creative vitality. Through solo and group exhibitions, participation in international fairs and biennales, and collaborations with global galleries, it plays a key role in advancing contemporary African art worldwide.

The gallery’s artists, shaped by distinct cultural identities and histories, forge new languages that transcend geography and familiarity. As observers and critics of contemporary life, they challenge us to reflect on our place in the world.
