In an era defined by rapid globalisation and technological advancement, ‘Connecting the Rails,’ a solo exhibition by Ivorian artist Soro Kafanan is causing a stir at the WALLS House of Art in Abidjan.
Beyond the mere portrayal of railway tracks, Kafana’s collection delves deep into the essence of connectivity, urging viewers to reflect on the invisible threads that bind humanity together.
TheCultureJoint.com found during a visit to the gallery in the Ivorian capital that, through his allegorical artworks, Kafana invites us to recognise and celebrate the timeless bonds that have linked cultures and civilizations for centuries.
In an age where these connections are threatened by the pace of modern life, ‘Connecting the Rails’ serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of unity and harmony.

At the heart of the exhibition lies a profound message of inclusivity and acceptance. Kafana’s figures symbolize the guardians of rediscovered harmony, striving to break down the barriers of prejudice and division that too often plague society.
