Laetitia Ky (KYOTOGRAPHIE 2025 Artist)
©Laetitia Ky
Laetitia Ky is an artist, activist, and entrepreneur whose work centres on themes of self-love, cultural identity, and empowerment. Known for her innovative approach to art, she uses her platform to explore the beauty and cultural significance of Black hair, often challenging societal norms and promoting positive self-image. Through her art, especially her hair sculptures, Laetitia encourages individuals to embrace their heritage and personal identity. She is also involved in fashion, cinema and literature. Through words and images her first book LOVE AND JUSTICE explores her point of view as an activist for equality in Côte d’Ivoire.
At KYOTOGRAPHIE 2025 Ky will present at ASPHODEL some of her most iconic past works and in Demachi Masugata Shopping Arcade new self-portraits with unique hairstyles that embody her identity. These works were produced during Laeticia’s stay in Kyoto for the KYOTOGRAPHIE African Artist Residency in Winter 2024.
