Exocé Kasongo

Exocé is a multidisciplinary Afrocentric Artist: Artistic performer, dancer, visual artist. His dance style is experimental storytelling. As the son of Congolese parents in France, he considers himself Afropean with a dual cultural identity. He grew up in a very humble environment and understood very early on that through art he can break all barriers and reach the sensitivity of the people around him. Thanks to his years of experience, Exocé confirms himself as a dancer (Krump / Hip-hop) with Afro/Contemporary influences and starts to develop his own body language. His dance is mostly based on improvisation, expressing the true self in the present moment. He is also a visual artist and has started a series of analog collages that are currently exhibited at the cultural center Oyoun-Neu Denken in Berlin. During his previous residency at the cultural center, he started to design a clothing brand by printing his collages on textile and making clothes out of them. His artistic universe is centered on Afrofuturism, a return to African sources by making the link between ancestrality and modernity in the diasporas.
