About this artwork
Houai (Scarification) is a tapestry that highlights the identity markers at the heart of my research. Inspired by the scarifications of the Xwéda and the circular tattoos of the Peuhl, the work explores their cultural, spiritual, and protective value. The incisions symbolize belonging and stages of life, while the circles embody harmony and connection to community. Made with recycled materials, Houai creates a dialogue between two African traditions…
and questions their resonance in contemporary art.

Beninese visual artist Paterne Dokou explores painting, sculpture, photography, and textiles, drawing on a rich self-taught and academic background. His Cut and Paste technique combines Xwéda scarification, recycled materials (rubber, burlap), and a cutting and collage gesture evoking traces and repair. Through his profound, hybrid style, he weaves powerful narratives about memory, identity, and collective resilience, conveying an intense emotion of dialogue between past and present, tradition and modernity, without ever forgetting ecological responsibility.
