Artistic Residency of Ablaa Reine at Yelam’s as part of MASA Lab

From April 1 to April 6, 2025, Ablaa Reine participated in an artistic residency at Yelam’s, accompanied by her mentor Blick Bassy, within the MASA Lab program. This residency provided her with a privileged environment to deepen her creative universe and refine her artistic practice.
MASA Lab is an incubator and accelerator dedicated to emerging talents in live performance in Côte d’Ivoire, offering comprehensive support to artists. It combines mentoring, residencies, training, and opportunities for showcasing to foster the professional development of artists in music, dance, and theater.
This program benefits from the valuable support of the French Embassy in Côte d’Ivoire, thereby strengthening cultural cooperation between the two countries and providing artists with unique opportunities for growth and visibility.
Through initiatives like this, MASA reaffirms its commitment to elevate Ivorian artistic creation to international standards and energize the cultural sector.
