Filafriques Gallery is a Geneva contemporary art gallery dedicated to promoting contemporary African artists. Founded and directed by Carine Biley, the gallery stages exhibitions, artist projects and public programmes that showcase diverse African perspectives. It participates in international art fairs and supports emerging and established artists through curatorial projects and events.
Cameroonian photographer and visual artist Martin Abega presents a body of work that transforms image into material. Combining photography with textiles, embroidery, cowrie shells and charcoal, he stages photographic compositions and object-based pieces that investigate metamorphosis of body and mind. Themes of ordeal, fragility, trace, transmission and regeneration recur, often through the female figure as emblem. Curated by Ngalula Mafwata, the work opens a contemplative space that asks what remains after transformation.

Nigerian artist Joseph Eze presents a personal exhibition that brings together a selection of his works in dialogue with the visual and conceptual perspectives that define his practice. Curated by Carine Biley, the exhibition offers an overview of Eze’s artistic language, inviting viewers to engage with works that reflect both individual expression and broader cultural resonances. The presentation highlights the gallery’s commitment to contemporary voices and carefully composed encounters with painting and image-making.
