With "Sogno d'oltremare" Fracois- Xavier Gbré, for the first time in Italy, presents a photographic selection with an African subject, which documents an exploration of the capital cities of West Africa, Abidjan and Bamako, Porto Novo and Dakar together with new series of images taken during his stay in Sardinia and commissioned by MAN.

The project is part of the exhibition program curated by Luigi Fassi, the new director of the institution, which marks the reopening of the MAN exhibition season and which also includes Dor Guez's solo show “Sabir” and the collective “O Youth and Beauty! " by the artists Anna Bjerger, Louis Fratino, Waldemar Zimbelmann. The exhibitions, through the different stylistic renditions and the different languages, testify to the need of the artists to activate an investigation on their own cultural identity with one look at the past and the other at the future and progress, in dialogue with the European spectator.
