Where are you from?
Niamey, Niger
Describe your object?
A bracelet made of black and gold beads, with a double-faced golden metal plate near the clasp, that has the names “Lus-D” and “Myriam” engraved on it.
Where is your object from?
It was made in Accra, Ghana, by an artisan commissioned by someone dear to me who gifted it to me.
How is your object meaningful to you?
This bracelet is very important to me, because it fills the void (even if it’s not evident) that was created by the accidental loss of a bracelet that my daughter (Myriam) had given me
How do you see yourself as an artist in your community?
I am a writer, composer and performer of Hip Hop and World music. My passion is to sing and to share my emotions, my vision, and also to change mentalities in Niger and the rest of the world for the better
What is your hope for the future?
In the future, I hope to share many cultural moments with other cultural actors in Africa and around the world. I also hope to contribute to the cultural emergence of Niger throughout the world.
