Nuits Balnéaires

Nuits Balnéaires is a multidisciplinary visual artist, art director, and poet from Côte d’Ivoire, based in Grand-Bassam. His work, spanning photography and poetry, explores memory, spirituality, and cultural transmission, with the night and the sea as recurring motifs.

In 2024, he presented an installation of photographs and artefacts in New Afro’s exhibition Restitution… et après ? at the Institut Français Mainz, focusing on the heritage and customs of the N’zima culture, an Akan ethnic group in West Africa.

He also participated in the exhibition Héritage… Mémoires en mouvements ? in 2025 in Cotonou (Benin), at Galerie Zato, where he exhibited photographs and artefacts from the series Love Is What Remains When All Else Is Forgotten – Archives of the Heart, reflecting on love as an intimate and enduring archive.
