ARTIST • MOUSS BLACK/ DAOUDA TRAORE • THREADS OD ESSENCE • ONLINE • UNTIL 2 MARCH •
Threads of Essence is an invitation to reflect on the invisible ties that bind us in a world undergoing profound transformation. At a time when human rights are weakened by major military and economic powers, this exhibition explores the strength and fragility of human bonds international, fraternal, familial, and communal as essential forces of resilience.
In the face of current upheavals, these connections become threads of hope. They are not mere social constructs but vital strands that sustain identity, belonging, and aspiration. As societies fragment and uncertainty takes hold, these threads stretch, loosen, reconfigure, and most often break.
Daouda Traoré examines fraternity as a stabilizing force a foundation for resisting the shocks of global change. His work celebrates the power of bonds, community, and shared responsibility.
Mouss Black explores the terrain of uncertainty, stress, doubt, and existential anxiety that accompany a future in retreat. Yet at the heart of this tension lies a fierce will to be, to exist, to assert oneself despite erasure.
