Helga at Cafe des Arts

I lived in Togo in 1981-82.  When I was there, a little cafe called 'Cafe des Arts' on the north part of the Boulevard Circulaire.  The cafe featured an artist who was a German woman named 'Helga' who made tapestries from Grande Marche fabric prints.  I bought several when I was there and they are still cherished possessions.  I was wondering if anyone knew (a) if Cafe des Arts still there, and (b) does any one know where this Helga now lives and how to contact her?

Hello Bruce,

After first tentative inquiries, I can't give you any news about Helga.
Since 1982 many things,and probably the whole expatriate community, have changed in Togo.

Nevertheless, I keep looking :-)

Best regards

Thanks for the enquiries.  If you want a glimpse into life in 1982 Lome, check out brucelynn.info/BOYS_WILL_BE_MEN.doc
