Togolese artist, Sokey Edorh was born in Tsévié in 1955. Sokey states, “It was in Sangha, Mali in 1996, ten years after starting my travels, that I invented my alphabet, inspired by Dogon ideograms. There I fell upon the ideograms on the houses of the Hogon hunters of Sangha, a rapturous poetry addressed to the harvest gods, a divine litany like that of the ancient Egyptians to their gods... It is an anti-media camouflage. It is my way of liberating my self from the dictatorial systems forbidding free expression.” Sokey is currently living in Togo.
