“Electro-fetishes”, “vodunaut” or even “Kaleta”: the hybrid artist Emo de Medeiros explores the hybridizations and interconnections between new technologies and the History or traditions of the African continent. His works revolve around a unique concept he calls “contexture”, a fusion of the digital and the material, the tangible and the intangible.

How to prevent sectarian aberrations in Kenya?
A case has caused a great stir in recent weeks in Kenya: Paul Mackenzie, pastor of the evangelical sect of the International Church, is accused of having pushed his followers to practice extreme fasting, until death, to get closer to Jesus. More than 230 remains were found in Shakahola Forest. Since the arrest of the pastor last April, the question of the control of religious worship has been debated in this country which has more than 4,000 churches.
Mokhacha, a century-old sand hockey tradition
In the south of Morocco, a handful of enthusiasts train in “sand hockey”. Similar in many ways to field or ice hockey, this sport is played barefoot and with palm sticks by the nomadic tribes of the Sahara. Their ancestors played there in their free time, when they traveled in caravans and stopped to rest.
