Transcript

00:00Welcome to Mediantv, we are heading towards the tropical heat and the marine air that

00:13enter through the windows of a colonial-style house surrounded by palm trees on the first

00:18floor of this plastic art workshop.

00:21A group of artists chose to settle in the coastal city of the Grand Bassam in Côte

00:26d'Ivoire, far from the tumult of Abidjan.

00:28They are painters, photographers, designers or sculptors, and they have chosen to settle

00:33far from the urban disorder and depopulation of Abidjan in the Grand Bassam.

00:38Located an hour from the country's economic capital, this historic city, listed as a

00:43UNESCO World Heritage Site, attracts more and more local creatives in search of a more

00:49serene and affordable way of life.

00:50While the artisan village of the Grand Bassam used to be on the verge of disappearance,

00:56a new generation of contemporary artists re-appropriated this emblematic cultural centre and gave it

01:02a new life.

01:03I invite you to listen to Ibrahim Ketouré, painter and founder of the Akan Mandigo Gallery.

01:10For me, there is a difference between the Grand Bassam and Abidjan.

01:15Abidjan is the city, people go there to look for money, it is the agglomeration, the

01:20agglomeration.

01:21Abidjan is the city, people go there to look for money, it is the agglomeration, the agglomeration.

01:22Abidjan is the city, people go there to look for money, it is the agglomeration.

01:26Abidjan is the city, people go there to look for money, it is the agglomeration.

01:29Abidjan is the city, people go there to look for money, it is the agglomeration.

01:30Abidjan is the city, people go there to look for money, it is the agglomeration.

01:31Abidjan is the city, people go there to look for money, it is the agglomeration.

01:32Abidjan is the city, people go there to look for money, it is the agglomeration.

01:33Abidjan is the city, people go there to look for money, it is the agglomeration.

01:34Abidjan is the city, people go there to look for money, it is the agglomeration.

01:40Abidjan is the city, people go there to look for money, it is the agglomeration.

01:41Abidjan is the city, people go there to look for money, it is the agglomeration.

01:43Abidjan is the city, people go there to look for money, it is the agglomeration.

01:44Abidjan is the city, people go there to look for money, it is the agglomeration.

01:45Abidjan is the city, people go there to look for money, it is the agglomeration.

01:47When we do that, generally we are not seen.

01:50It is the one who comes to finance, who hits all the big part.

01:55If there is money, if there are things to be paid, it is them, as they are the big structures,

02:01it is them who take more than even the artist in question.

02:04So we decided to self-finance so as not to have ...

02:09Grand Bassin is inspiring, the community estimates unanimously,

02:13but its cultural appeal is not without the historical district of the city,

02:16where the vegetation dresses the colonial houses in ruins

02:19and makes its way through old windows,

02:22is registered in the World Heritage of UNESCO since 2012.

02:25First capital of the Ivory Coast during the French colonization,

02:29Grand Bassin has also been the first cultural and artistic city of the country

02:33by the wedding of people it has welcomed.

02:36We listen to these artists.

02:38Georges Yao is a painter and founder of the House of Plastic Artists of Grand Bassin

02:43and Kofi Maturin-Tano is a painter at the House of Plastic Artists of Grand Bassin.

02:50The House of Artists is an association that brings together 21 artists.

02:55This association allows us to present the work of each artist,

03:02to have more visibility,

03:05opportunities to sell, to exhibit.

03:10When I was a student at the School of Fine Arts,

03:13I was the head of the delegation, so we came to Bassin.

03:17I understood that it was a touristic city that was really animated,

03:23there were artists, artisans everywhere.

03:26I said to myself, here must be the environment in which I could evolve.

03:31And that's how I had this crush.

03:33So as soon as I finished the fine arts training,

03:36I asked to come and settle here.

03:39The day after the country's independence in 1960,

03:42Grand Bassin became a banner station

03:45before becoming one of the country's first tourist destinations,

03:48both internationally and nationally, with sales opportunities.

03:53In a building open to the play of sunlight,

03:56the House of Plastic Artists thus welcomes several hundred visitors a month

04:00and in Bassin, a majority of artists self-finance themselves,

04:04sometimes by choice, preferring independence

04:07in search of an ever-higher quota.

04:10Let's listen to Paul Acoussi.

04:12He is a sculptor and founder of the Paul Arte gallery.

04:15It's our job, so we're on the side, we're artists from time to time.

04:19If I'm here, I move to another corner.

04:22If I'm not in my studio, I try to go visit a friend

04:27who also makes art like that, to try to find inspiration

04:31through the same sound he's making.

04:33Maybe it also inspires me to see.

04:35And music, to finish,

04:37to tell you about the Jordanian-Palestinian singer Zayn,

04:41new pop star with her powerful melodies.

04:44The Jordanian-Palestinian singer is determined

04:47to make culture and the Arabic language shine

04:50all over the world.

04:52Settled in London for several years,

04:54she was forced to give up her projects to return to Yemen

04:58following the closure of borders in 2020.

05:01Locked up between four walls,

05:03Zayn reconnects with music.

05:05A few years later, here she is at the top of the charts,

05:08pop R&B in Europe and the USA,

05:10and invited to the famous Color Shows,

05:13a Berlin platform that has become a must-see

05:16for emerging artists.

05:18Let's listen to her.
