About this artwork
The Bétammaribé, or Otammari, are a West African people of builders living between Benin and Togo. Deeply attached to a social and ritual organization that they consider essential, they live in clans without hereditary leadership, with a hierarchy between elders and younger siblings. Their major rites are the dikuntri (girls) and the difwani (boys), marking the stages of life. Even far from home, young people participate in these initiations. Deeply… connected to their land, which they respect as a source of life, the Bétammaribé have preserved their identity in the face of outside influences. Their pride, their warrior and hunting traditions, relived during ceremonies, testify to their desire to preserve a thousand-year-old heritage. Their language, Ditammari, is a Gur language spoken in several West African countries, including Benin, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Mali, Niger, Nigeria and Togo.
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.
