“We know how much memory is not just made of layers built one on top of the other but also includes gaps, chasms and caves, sometimes decorated with paintings, figures and shapes that never fail to surprise us and of whose origin which we know little, or pretend to know little. In these faults are buried indiscreet dreams, hidden secrets that are very present, however, and very disturbing, certainly. Their sudden encounter in the works of Hassan Musa, on canvas and in the caverns of memories, give rise to disturbing reminiscences, obscure concretions that revive thoughts buried in the twists and turns of the history of art. Hassan Musa does not play with history; it is a dangerous, murky game, full of things unsaid, misunderstandings, perhaps resentments, misinterpretations and truncated visions on both sides.” \u2014Laurent Busine, curator<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
