A place to see, learn and pass on.
Fadelle Institut is a gallery, exhibition venue and cultural platform devoted to the arts of Africa, both contemporary and heritage.
Reveal artists, safeguard heritage, build bridges between Africa and the world.
Founded in 2019 by Fadelle Gides Miantama, the institute grew from a conviction: African creation deserves venues that show it with the same care as the great international institutions.
Under the FMG Art — Miantama-Ngoma signature, we bring together a gallery, an exhibition programme, a heritage collection and a learning studio.

The butterfly in the logo says it all: metamorphosis. Moving artists from the studio to the stage, and audiences from curiosity to passion.
“Every work we show is a conversation between an artist and a memory. Our role is to give it the best possible place to be heard.”
What we stand for.
Authenticity
Showing real, documented works and skills, without folklore or cliché.
Excellence
A selection committee and museum standards for hanging, conservation and interpretation.
Fairness
Clear contracts, fair pay for artists and full traceability of sales.
Openness
Accessible exhibitions, workshops for all ages and constant dialogue with the diaspora.
Seven years of metamorphosis.
