Conversation - “Savoir-faire / Savoir-être: Pratiques collectives et communautés”

Join us on Thursday June 26th at 7PM at Selebe Yoon for a conversation between artists Fatim Soumaré and Kan-Si. The conversation will focus on their respective socio-cultural interventions within collectives outside urban Dakar, and the link between terroir, development and artistic practice. 

In 2021, Fatim founded Falé, a collective of 200 craftswomen and set up a workshop-laboratory dedicated to research on cotton. This initiative examines the transformation of cotton over time, as a common thread for reflections on the divergent transmutations of our modern societies. 

Kan-Si is a founding member of the collective “Huit Facettes Interaction”, which aims to promote activities in rural areas. In collaboration with artist Muhsana Ali,  he founded ‘Portes et Passages du Retour’, an art and holistic development centre in Mbodiene, where Kan Si and Muhsana have welcomed a number of artists and organised workshops with local women potters and various members of the Joal-Fadiouth community.
