Biographie
Biography
Born in Lomé, Togo in 1994.
Lives and works in Lomé, Togo.
Foli Kossi Gérard TETE, aka Tesprit, is a self-taught artist.
Tesprit invites us into the contrasting world of the Dzimakplao, Togo’s street children, and allows us to apprehend the precarity and vulnerability, but also the playfulness and optimism omnipresent in the daily lives of these children. The artist works with worn-out flip-flops salvaged from Lomé’s rubbish dumps, each containing a unique story of perseverance and courage.
