Artlovers Tip
Don’t focus only on Mahama’s materials. Follow where they have been, who used them and what histories they carry — circulation and labour are as important here as form.

Description
The Fondation Cartier presents Mahama on an unprecedented scale in France, accompanied by nine artists and collectives. The project connects material histories, labour, colonialism, memory and the possibility of building different futures from the remnants of the past.
