🇺🇸🇬🇧 I tried out a batik workshop for you!
It was an opportunity for me to learn about this art form and its contours by putting myself in the artists' shoes, for the duration of a workshop.
It was a moment rich in discovery, and I can't wait to share it with you too.
All you have to do is send us a message and that's it!

Ceremony of the Taking of the Sacred Stone or « Ekpessosso »!
Every year, the Guins of Togo gather at Glidji to celebrate the New Year. The high priests enter the sacred forest to find the Sacred Stone, whose color determines the destiny of the people.
This year, the sacred stone, which has emerged from the depths of the forest, is a dirty-white color. It symbolizes a year of peace and prosperity to come, and a strong message of reconciliation.
Have you ever attended a Sacred Stone ceremony?

We took a 2-day tour on the Benin coast from Lomé.
After the first day in Ouidah, which was dedicated to culture (architecture, contemporary art, voodoo) and history (ancient kingdoms of the city of Ouidah, slavery), we spent the second day at Lake Aheme, which was dedicated to relaxation and well-being.
This well-balanced tour was much appreciated by our guests, who expressed their total satisfaction.
When will it be your turn? We are ready to consider all your wishes to offer you the best possible customized experience.

The dowry in Africa is a traditional and cultural practice that often accompanies marriages. It consists of a set of material goods, gifts or offerings that the groom's family gives to the bride's family as a sign of respect, recognition and commitment to the bride. The nature, value and tradition of dowries vary from region to region and from culture to culture.
It has many meanings and roles within African communities, and is often seen as a symbol of the fiancé's serious commitment to his future wife and family. It is also a way for the groom's family to show their ability to care for the bride-to-be and contribute to the couple's well-being. In some cultures, the dowry can also serve as a guarantee of the stability and durability of the marriage.
Tell us in comments how dowry is done in your country ☺️

In Africa, a party is a celebration of life, an opportunity to gather, dance, sing and share joy with family and friends. It is imbued with colorful traditions and folklore, making each celebration unique and memorable.
The uniqueness of African celebrations lies in their cultural diversity, their deep connection with spirituality, their emphasis on music and dance, their sumptuous costumes, their delicious food, their sense of community and their close connection with nature and seasonal cycles. These elements make African celebrations authentic and meaningful festive experiences.
Have you ever been to a party in Africa?

🇺🇸🇬🇧 Mangroves are unique and very important coastal ecosystems, formed by forests of coastal vegetation that develop in intertidal zones, where the sea meets the land.
Anani Akpé Wilson, Executive Director of the NGO AVOTODE, tells us about their presence on the Mono River and the role they play in this excerpt from @Cathy_Crussy's report for @DestinationCultures.
What about you? Did you know mangroves?🤔

The Évala are an important cultural tradition of the Kabyè people, who live mainly in northern Togo. They are celebrated annually to mark the end of the agricultural season and to honor local divinities.
Generally held between June and August, they last several days, sometimes even weeks. The festivities are marked by a series of physical and competitive events in which the men and boys of the community take part. These events are designed to test their strength, endurance and courage.
One of the best-known Evala events is traditional wrestling. Men fight each other in specially constructed arenas. Wrestling is considered a rite of passage and a demonstration of virility. Participants use specific techniques and attempt to overthrow their opponents without the use of weapons.
During the Evala, participants also follow a special diet to prepare for the physical tests. They refrain from eating certain foods and follow purification practices. The festivities are guided by dancing, singing and drumming, creating a lively, festive atmosphere.
The Évala have a deep cultural significance for the Kabyè people. They are an opportunity to strengthen community identity, pass on traditions to younger generations and thank the deities for bountiful harvests. These celebrations are also open to visitors, offering visitors from abroad the opportunity to discover and appreciate the richness of Kabyè culture.

🇺🇸🇬🇧 African masks are objects of art and culture with profound significance in many traditional African societies. They play an essential role in ceremonies, religious rituals, dances, festivals and other special occasions.
Generally made from natural materials such as wood, leather, plant fibers, fabrics, animal horns or metals, each mask is unique and reflects the traditions, beliefs and aesthetics of a specific culture.
These masks often have great symbolic and spiritual significance. They may represent ancestral spirits, deities, revered ancestors, totem animals or powers of nature. They can also serve as means of communication with the spiritual world, vehicles of power or protective guardians.
The art of mask carving is often passed down from generation to generation within artistic communities. Sculptors, often considered talented craftsmen and artists, use traditional techniques and simple tools to create these expressive works of art.
Today, African masks continue to attract worldwide interest, not only as art objects, but also as precious testimonies to the richness and diversity of African cultures.
What's your opinion on African masks?🤔

🇺🇸🇬🇧We were students in a dance and percussion class at the Kékéli cultural center, and the experience has the merit of being unique!
Our guests were absolutely ecstatic to discover and have the opportunity to touch several artistic disciplines at the same time in one and the same place. And let's not forget the artists, who were available, patient and attentive to offer us the best of our time at the Kékéli cultural center.
Situated in the heart of Togolese greenery, the waterfalls of the Plateaux region and the town of Kpalimé, the Kekeli cultural space came into being in 2013. It was born of the desire of a Franco-Togolese couple, in charge of a cultural association and keen to promote, enhance and develop local culture and traditions. The aim of this center is to create a known and appropriate space to enable local artists to create, but also to represent themselves, to make themselves known and to evolve.
Enriching is the word that best describes our experience.

🇺🇸🇬🇧The village of Yohonou is a locality located at 2 hours from Lomé , in Togo. This small village of blacksmiths is home to a little-known site called the "Hammer of Africa".
Indeed, the hammer of Yohonou is a very imposing and mysterious work because of the tree trunk which is lodged in its heart. It is 5 meters long with a weight of 19.5 tons.
It is a work of German-Togolese collaboration in the village of Yohonou which has an old and solid reputation in the field of forging.
