It was birthed out of founder Tounzi’s identity crisis, “laying on my bed with DVDs of African films, head full of issues.” Currently based in Paris, the founder was in Hypokhâgne /Khâgne before studying political science. Manufactoriel is collaborating with Coeval to showcase contemporary African art culture and figures, highlighting the vast diversity and complexity of African and Black art.
