Ndop exhibition, spinning blue to tell a world, at Maison Gacha

GACHA HOUSE
From October 21, 2026 to February 27, 2027

From October 21, 2026, to February 27, 2027, Maison Gacha is hosting a free exhibition dedicated to ndop, the indigo textile of western Cameroon. Ceremonial hangings, initiation costumes, and contemporary creations will be on display alongside workshops for families and adults alike.

In Cameroon, when a king appears, a blue and white fabric appears with him. ndop clothes the chiefs of the Grassfields, queens, and dignitaries, and each piece travels even before it exists: spun in the north, tied with raffia in the west, dipped in indigo in Garoua, and unraveled upon its return. The pattern emerges from what the dye has not touched.

The Gacha House displays the monumental and solemn tapestries of the Gacha-Dumas collection, beaded elephant masks, and a throne, while Kamwa Simo, Ly Dumas, and Rachel Marsil prove that this shade of blue is still being reinvented.
