Established by the State of Senegal since 1989 with a first edition dedicated to literature in 1990, it was reserved for contemporary art during the second edition in 1992 before being definitively devoted to contemporary African creation from 1996.
The Dakar Biennial is to be included in the wake of major international events for the enhancement of modern cultural heritage in Africa.
Introduction
Create, imagine and invent. It is around this triptych that the official international exhibition of the 14th edition of the Biennale of Contemporary African Art in Dakar (May 19-June 21, 2022) will take place.
The official selection, consistent with the orientations of the Artistic Direction, will highlight the works of 59 visual artists and artists' collectives. They come from Africa and its diaspora. According to Dr El Hadji Malick Ndiaye , Artistic Director of the 2022 Edition, the theme Ĩ Ndaffa# sounds like an exhortation to create a new common destiny, a future together.
