Within the centre of Dakar, a disused French colonial-era courthouse has been remodeled into a up to date artwork venue for the Biennale. As soon as utilised to intimidate African topics, its imposing construction now hosts numerous artworks, evoking reflection on international points. Guests discover the fastidiously curated exhibition, encountering areas like dungeons repurposed by artists to evoke justice. The Biennale’s theme, “the wake”, mourns and awakens, addressing the legacy of slavery and celebrating ancestral heritage by means of artwork.
