This summer, Hoop Galerie opens the doors of its Parisian space to the artists of its family.
A family of free spirits, singular perspectives, and powerful gestures — moved by a big heart and wholehearted generosity, united by a shared vision of art as a living bond.

​

Family Show is a collective exhibition bringing together twelve artists:

• Anjel (Cameroon)

• Kiné Aw (Senegal)

• Franck Ezan (Ivory Coast)

• Kelani Fatai (Nigeria)

• Yao Franck (Ivory Coast)

• Obou Gbais (Ivory Coast)

• Alhassane “KONTÉ” Lass (Mali)

• Moses Mous (Cameroon)

• Sisqo Ndombe (Democratic Republic of Congo)

• Momar Seck (Senegal)

• Cédric Tchinan (Ivory Coast)

• Elize Vossgätter (South Africa)

 

This is a living, evolving exhibition — a reflection of who we are: artists, allies, voices that sometimes cross paths, drift apart, but always find their way back to one another.
Their practices cross geographies and mediums, weaving a dialogue around memory, ecology, identity, and resilience.

 

The artworks converse, respond to one another, and brush past each other as the weeks go by.
Some will make only a brief appearance — the time of a glance, a fleeting reunion.
Others will stay all summer, laying down their colors and presence on this shared stage.

 

Because summer at Hoop Galerie is a time to slow down, reflect together, share our experiences, our doubts, and our momentum.
It’s a moment to ask: “Where do we stand? Where are we going? And with whom do we want to move forward?”

 

Welcome to all those who wish to enter this intimate and collective conversation.
The summer will be warm, vibrant — in family.
