A few words about your artistic career<\/h3>\n

Born on 22 January 1979 in Dakar, I am a self-taught artist who attended the studio of Daouda Ndiaye, a renowned art teacher and visual artist. Since my first exhibition in the early 2000s, I have taken part in various group exhibitions in Senegal and France.<\/p>\n

How long have you been an artist?<\/h3>\n

Interested in drawing since primary school, I began my artistic career in 1996.<\/p>\n

Why did you apply for this scholarship? How will the scholarship support you?<\/h3>\n

All cultural events have been cancelled. The Dark'art 2020 Biennial, which had been in the pipeline for several months and was a major source of revenue, has been postponed. I'm affected economically by this situation, and this creative residency will also enable me to advance my creativity by experimenting with other tools and media.<\/p>\n

What are your concrete artistic objectives after this residency?<\/h3>\n

After the residency, I plan to continue experimenting with other media, develop my digital presence and, if possible, prepare an international exhibition, which is currently on hold because of Covid-19.<\/p>\n
