Conceptual Artist Pierre-Christophe Gam shares his thoughts on the transformative power of imagination to shape reality, the potential of the African continent to become a global leader, and how to dream futures that reflect our individual aspirations and collective desires.
Pierre-Christophe Gam is a French-born conceptual artist whose contemporary multimedia installations investigate the future through myths, technology, and dreams. Trained as an interior architect at ENSAD in Paris and CSM in London, he founded TOGUNA WORLD, a digital-native research laboratory that merges art, design, and foresight to decolonise conversations about the future and amplify diverse voices from the Global South. A fellow at the MIT Open Doc Lab, his work has been exhibited at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, the Vitra Design Museum, the Addis FotoFest, and the Unseen Photo Festival.
