Abstract
Art history in Côte d'Ivoire has traditionally been Eurocentric, with a focus on European and Western art forms. This has marginalized local artistic traditions and perspectives. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, integrating ethnographic research with archival analysis of local art practices and contemporary exhibitions in Ivorian cities. A significant proportion (34%) of artworks exhibited in major Ivorian galleries are by artists who were previously unrecognized in official art histories. This highlights the need for more inclusive art narratives. Decolonizing Côte d'Ivoire's art history requires a reevaluation of existing methodologies and a greater recognition of local artistic traditions and practices. Future research should prioritise collaboration between scholars, artists, and community leaders to ensure that decolonization efforts are grounded in lived experiences.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
