Fondation Donwahi
Fondation Donwahi pour l'Art Contemporain
A contemporary art space in a Cocody garden, showing works by emerging artists from Côte d'Ivoire and across Africa.
The Fondation Donwahi was founded in 2008 by Ira Donwahi. Located in a quiet residential area of Cocody, it is one of Abidjan's most active contemporary art institutions. Its galleries regularly present exhibitions of painting, installation, photography and video by artists from Côte d'Ivoire and other African countries, and it also runs talks and workshops. The garden setting is good for sitting and relaxing. Admission is usually free or low-cost, but the venue may close during exhibition changeovers, so check the official social media channels before you go.
Opening hours
