Élodie and Delphine Chevalme  appropriated and combined in a colorful and humorous way the French  fashion with the “Sape”, famous noisy exuberance of African dandies. Two  worlds distant from each other which meet on the occasion of the series “Greffes de l’histoire, histoires de griffes” ( Grafts of history, claw stories) , project  that the artists develop during a residency in Brazzaville, Congo in 2012. This series highlights the links woven by history.
