Reclaimed materials, textiles, archives and industrial fragments are central to Ibrahim Mahama’s artistic practice. Through them, the Ghanaian artist explores memory, industrial history, and his country’s colonial and postcolonial legacy.
His exhibition Le Temps des récoltes, at the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, brings together his work with that of nine artists and collectives associated with his practice. It invites visitors to consider the stories that remain embedded in the objects and spaces around us.
Before meeting visitors, Magmacultura’s cultural mediation teams take time to familiarise themselves with the artworks, their contexts and the questions they may raise.
Once in front of the works, each encounter takes its own course. Guiding visitors through a contemporary art exhibition also means listening, encouraging dialogue and making room for different interpretations.
This autumn marks one year of collaboration between Magmacultura and the Fondation Cartier. Throughout this time, our teams have worked with diverse audiences across its exhibitions, adapting their approach to the particularities of each one.
Le Temps des récoltes is on view in Paris until 28 February 2027.
Discover the exhibition on the Fondation Cartier website.
Behind every visit lies work that often goes unseen. In an exhibition such as "Le Temps des récoltes", understanding the artworks and their contexts is the starting point for engaging with visitors' questions and the different perspectives they bring.
