The story
Festival Lopo Lopo in Grand-Popo
Festival Lopo Lopo is the kind of arts event where the useful story begins with place, timing and the way people move through the day. That timing gives the trip a frame, but the better experience comes from reading the atmosphere: exhibitions, makers, installations, talks and the slower pleasure of looking closely.
Festival Lopo Lopo is listed by Institut Francais du Benin's cultural agenda as a Grand-Popo event running across a roughly seven-week window from early January into late February, an unusually long span for an event labeled a festival rather than a season of programming.
