Madagascar's Temandrota gets Fondation H solo show from 13 November

Fondation H, a contemporary art foundation in Antananarivo, opens a solo exhibition by the Malagasy artist Temandrota on 13 November 2026, according to Claudine Colin Communication, the Paris agency handling press for the show. The show, Masoandro amam-bolana (From the Sun and the Moon), runs to 25 April 2027.

The venue is Fondation H on Rue Refotana, Ambatomena, Antananarivo 101. The foundation says all its programmes are free of charge.

Temandrota is the working name of Randriahasandrata Razafimandimby. He was born in Antananarivo in 1975 and lives and works in the city. His work spans painting, sculpture, installation and performance, and draws on the culture of the Tandroy people of south-eastern Madagascar, among whom he grew up.

In 2026 he marks 30 years as an artist. He was the first recipient of the Prix Paritana, a prize run by Fondation H. The foundation has followed and supported his work for a decade.

The exhibition is curated by Tamsin Hong of the Serpentine Galleries and Hobisoa Raininoro of Fondation H. The announcement describes it as an exploration of the artist's plastic, spiritual and philosophical universe, and of the relationship between humanity, the living world and the cosmos.

Fondation H was founded in Antananarivo in 2017 and has been recognised as a public utility since 2018. It occupies a 2,200-square-metre space in the centre of the capital. Its stated aims are to support artists from Africa and its diasporas, to make art accessible to the public and to help develop the art scene of the Indian Ocean region.
