l’art en plus has been working with Hakanto Contemporary since 2024.

Dedicated to promoting contemporary Malagasy art, the independent non-profit space Hakanto Contemporary was co-founded in Antananarivo in 2020 by artist Joël Andrianomearisoa, who is also its artistic director, and entrepreneur and patron Hasnaine Yavarhoussen. Hakanto Contemporary is a platform dedicated to artists, exhibitions, reflections and encounters. Supported by the Yavarhoussen Fund, Hakanto Contemporary fosters exchanges between the world and the local art scene.

Four years after its launch, the new Hakanto Contemporary space opened its doors in September 2024 in Antananarivo, in a 2,000 m2 building entirely designed and imagined by Joël Andrianomearisoa. From the promotion of the emerging scene to the rediscovery of historic Malagasy artists, and including new, cross-disciplinary dialogues beyond the boundaries of the art world, this multi-purpose space – which also includes a bookshop, workshops and a library – offers a rich program.

l’art en plus oversees Hakanto Contemporary’s international media relations, sharing and promoting Joël Andrianomearisoa and Hasnaine Yavarhoussen’s commitment to the Madagascan art scene.
