Collective Amnesia: In Memory of Logobi celebrates the forgotten history of Logobi—an Ivorian folk dance originating from the streets of Abidjan, Ivory Coast that emerged in Paris’s banlieues among Black French youth in the late 2000s through the early 2010s. Its accelerated speed and movements draw from the art of bluffing and miming. The dance rarely existed inside club spaces: instead, crews would organize their own dance battles and perform in public spaces like subway stations, malls, or streets.
