BEHIND THE PROJECT
Charles-Wesley Hourdé, a specialist in the classical arts of Africa, Oceania and America, has partnered with Clémence Houdart, a consultant in the cultural sector for the visual arts, to create and develop a branch dedicated to the African contemporary art scenes. Together in 2019, they founded 31 PROJECT.
