BANDJOUN STATION @GRAND PALAIS, PARIS

Barthélémy Toguo has created Bandjoun Station, an integrated artist residency and farm in his native Cameroon that links art and sustainable agriculture. Local youth and foreign guests came together to learn artistic, environmental, agricultural, and social practices that promote self-sufficiency and sustainable farming in view of the agricultural crisis and climate change.

ARTPORT_making waves presented a screening of the documentary “Bandjoun Station” by Thierry Spitzer and workshops by Toguo, where he talked about his project and created a collective artwork with students from the Lycée Maximilien Vox.
