This series features Voodoo cult members at the Togo Festival des Divinités Noirs (Festival of Black Gods) in December 2011, and the rise of the evangelicals in Porto-Novo, Benin in 2012. Through traditional African culture, we seek visions that might provide insight into the question of our future: a kind of initiatory journey. We chose to take an interest in these African animist rituals because they have resisted all kinds of attacks, from the slave trade to our current industrial society.
We are 45 years old. We are French citizens and live in Pontoise, France.
