On Thursday, 7 May at 6 p.m. (Cape Town, Harare) Zeitz MOCAA hosted a head to head conversation between Sonia Lawson, Director of Palais de Lomé in Togo, and Koyo Kouoh, Executive Director and Chief Curator of Zeitz MOCAA in South Africa.

Situated in Lomé, Togo, Palais de Lomé is a unique art and culture centre in West Africa. The building, formerly the Governor’s Palace during the colonial era, has been restored and transformed into a landmark addition to the cultural scene in West Africa.
