Gouzou : Coca
About
In Réunion, Gouzou : Coca is an art gallery at 170 Rue Marius et Ary Leblond in Saint-Pierre, on the island's southern coast. The space takes its name from the artist's signature character, and it forms part of the wider L'Usine à Gouzou project that has made the site a reference point for street art in the region.
First-time visitors can expect a compact gallery setting where the walls carry Gouzou's painted interventions alongside related works, with the venue's own website at http://www.lusineagouzou.fr/ serving as the main online record of its output. The gallery holds a 4.3/5 rating from 601 reviews, a substantial body of feedback for a venue of its size. Saint-Pierre sits within easy reach of Saint-Denis, Saint-Gilles-les-Bains, Cilaos, Saint-Paul, Le Tampon, Sainte-Marie and Saint-Leu, so the gallery fits naturally into a wider tour of the island.
Opening hours are not part of the venue's published details, so it is worth planning the visit around the rest of a day in Saint-Pierre rather than treating the gallery as a fixed stop.
French is Réunion's official language, though Réunion Creole is the everyday tongue, and English is not widely used away from the main tourist areas, so a few phrases help. Much of the island's population traces roots to African, Indian, European and Chinese settlers, and each December the abolition of slavery is marked across Réunion.
