So, I took the chance to go back and to blend into it again. I went to Dakar and visited a lot of places, nightclubs, houses, restaurants—where people do live, where people do go. It was key for me to get a sense and a vibe of what was going on there now.” Despite their clear synchronicity as creatives, it was the sense of freedom that gave the project true lift-off, Kanu and Gorham explain. The latter notes he hoped to be as surprised as any visitor when he first visited the space on a balmy spring afternoon in Milan last week. “I had no idea what Dozie would come up with,” says Gorham. “So when I stepped into the space and saw the result, it was mind-blowing for me. Dozie seized the opportunity to create a structure and a narrative that is actually giving a reflection to every visitor—his profound work adds a lot to the story of Bal d’Afrique.” For Kanu, being able to work on a larger-scale project without commercial pressures became a kind of creative tonic. “I really felt that I had the privilege to express myself, to maximize my potential,” he adds. “Ben really pushed me to my limits and allowed me to do something I thought I would never be capable of.”Dozie Kanu and Ben Gorham.

Guests including Francesco Risso, Shayne Oliver, Ncuti Gatwa, Edward Buchanan, Jessica Joffe, Tamu McPherson, and Camilla and Giulia Venturini of Medea took in the installation illuminated by soft uplighting before sitting down to enjoy a meal prepared by Congolese chef Dieuveil Malonga, a pioneer of Afro-fusion cuisine whose globe-trotting culinary spirit was channeled into dishes from pulpo grilled in Swahili spices to fried plantain with Ghanaian shito “like grandma makes,” in Malonga’s words. “The night was all about celebrating memories, and sharing that heritage to a broader audience,” Kanu adds.
