Ndayé Kouagou — À propos — Slash Paris

Born in Montreuil in 1992, author, performer and video artist Ndayé Kouagou lives in Le Perreux-sur-Marne. Self-taught, he entered the contemporary art scene first as a writer, then as a performer. Young Black Romantics is the pseudonym he uses on social networks. Emblematic of the artists of his generation, Ndayé Kouagou does not establish a hierarchy between his different practices, which revolve around writing and language.

He has presented his work at Auto Italia South East (London), Wiels (Brussels), Centrale Fies (Dro/Italy), Centre Pompidou and Lafayette Anticipations (Paris), where he also launched his YBR (Young Black Romantics) publishing project. In April 2023, he presented his project The Guru at the Fondation Louis Vuitton (Paris). Ndayé Kouagou is represented by Nir Altman (Munich).
