Other Realities sub-programme

Welcome to the Ouidah Museum in Benin! The Fondation Zinsou, with the support of Christian Langlois-Meurinne and the IDI, is releasing the Wakpon Museum Project – Off the Wall application. Wherever they are in the world, WAKPON takes its users on a journey to discover 10 contemporary Beninese artists whose work is featured in the Ouidah Museum collection and offers them a totally new experience, using specially-designed QR codes as AR markers to offer the viewer a guided tour through the gallery. Designed under the technical direction of Mr. Pierrick Chabi, it makes use of the possibilities afforded by the technology known as “augmented reality”.   wakponapp.org
