“The Exhibition is a rare opportunity to present to the German public four generations of artists from prestigious Senegalese art schools, the first of wich was founded just after Independence in 1960 by President Léopold Sédar Senghor. 

Théodore Diouf (born in 1949) Viyé Diba (born in 1954), Soly Cissé (born in 1969) and Aliou Diack (born in 1987) have all emerged from this formal and academic education to embody, each in his own time, the revival of an African aesthetic that today goes beyond the borders of Senegal and shows the world a globalized African art scene with deep roots in their countries of origin (…)”
