/// Biography of Carole B. ///
Her studies and her work force her to put aside her passion for about 10 years, until 2016: one of her artist friends pushed her to grab again her scalpel and to show her work in an exhibition. The success of this first exhibition gave her the confidence to keep on creating and regularly get awards and public recognition. This is because of her taste for challenge that she decides one day to try out collage, through an original technique: paper cutting collage.
The further she goes in art, the more her technique and her complex personality show through her subtle and glamour art, with a dash of humour. ( © Carole B. )
/// Thomas Sankara ///
A politician who led Burkina Faso in the 1980s, he acted positively in many areas, particularly economic and social. He did not hesitate to go against the customs of his country to liberate women by putting an end to the practice of excision and forced marriages. He introduced a minimum age for marriage and put an end to dowry and levirate, which he considers techniques for the commodification of women. Because women's rights go through a change in men's mentality, and through a new relationship, this time egalitarian between men and women, for the symbol that this sends back, he even established a market day for men so that men go shopping instead of women to raise awareness about sharing household chores!
Thomas Sankara was assassinated in 1987. It was not until 2022 that the protagonists of this crime were convicted.
