In Togo, in the Ewe land, graphic popular depicting are realized on the walls of houses or voodoo temples. The painted subjects are various and refer to gods, ancestors, clan divinities, good and bad spirits… The ethnologist Annie Dupuis introduces the painter Ayathor and his work, and then interviews him about his apprenticeship and his inspiration.
