Raymond Dakoua, an Ivorian photographer, strives to immortalise the soul of African communities in the diaspora. Through his photographs, he questions the dynamics between the permanence of ancestral customs and cultural adaptations in a globalised world. Effervescences captures this duality with sensitivity and brilliance, offering a profound artistic reflection on identity and cultural integration. A tribute to African cultural richness: Each photograph tells a story, oscillating between tradition and modernity. A reflection on colonialism and its impacts: The work highlights religious rituals and their transformation across generations.
