The exhibition "Zongo en recit, des citadinites haoussas d'hier et d'aujourd'hui" is taking place in Cotonou, Benin Republic, 26 July and 3 August. Berenice Busson, PhD student at Universite Paris Cite and its organisator, presented her pictures and the result of her research in the Zongo neighbourhood of Cotonou.
The exhibition explores the history of Hausa settlement in Cotonou, how these Hausa city dwellers build a sense of belonging to the city, the challenges they face, the successes they achieve, how they negotiate their relationships with public officials.
