The art market in Mayotte 

The art market in Mayotte, although less publicized than in other regions, has a deep and diverse cultural richness. Situated at the crossroads of African, Malagasy and European influences, it is a fairly complex market in which artworks circulate widely. Art galleries offer a variety of pieces, from wood carvings to vibrant paintings and colorful weavings. What's more, the emergence of new talent is helping to further energize the art scene, offering visitors and collectors a unique and authentic experience of art in Mayotte. There are collectors on the island who often buy from galleries but face difficulties in reselling their possessions in the event of an inheritance, a move or any other change that may occur.
