Twòn Kreyol unfolds a space where memory intertwines with dream. Through collage and assemblage, Raphaël Barontini combines the iconography of art history, colonial-era ethnographic photographs, and sculptural objects such as West African masks and sacred artefacts to create portraits, costumes, and frescoes inspired by carnival parades and rites of resistance. Barontini focuses on several emblematic figures in the struggle against slavery, setting them in tension with the mechanisms of their erasure from official history—thereby examining the power relations at play in representation.
