In Antananarivo, Fondation H presents two parallel exhibitions from April to October 2026. A new curatorial reading of the Fondation H collection by Abdellah Karroum is shown alongside Les mains des poètes, a solo exhibition by M’barek Bouhchichi developed through extended research in Madagascar. Together, the projects focus on transmission, memory, and the circulation of knowledge across generations and cultures.
