For almost thirty years, Toguo has been working with an exemplary humanist commitment, imposing himself as the spokesman for an African identity that claims its independence from the Western world.
An early fighter for African art not to be taken hostage, he never ceases to carry out a quasi-militant activity to make it known throughout the world, while at the same time ensuring that Africans in the diaspora who have skills in all areas of creation pass them on to their fellow Africans.

Entitled “The missing part”, the exhibition presented by Nosbaum Reding follows the retrospective exhibition that the Villa Merkel in Esslingen (Germany) devoted to Barthélémy Toguo from August to October 2022
