October 1986. Abidjan welcomes Jean-Michel Basquiat for his first African exhibition. A decisive, long dreamed-of encounter with the continent, but his audacious style disconcerts. Crowned in glory, the American artist died young in 1988, but opened a route to emancipation for a generation of African artists claiming a direct filiation.
