TALK AFRICA DAKAR THE ART CAPITAL OF WEST AFRICA
DAKAR THE ART CAPITAL OF WEST AFRICA Dakar, the capital of Senegal, is also known as the art capital of West Africa. This vibrant city is home to the Dakar Biennale, the longest running large scale contemporary arts show in Africa. Dakar is also home to The newly minted Museum of Black Civilizations. It’s the largest museum in the region and is housed in an ultra modern building inspired by traditional African architecture. Its creation was the vision of the poet Léopold Senghor, Senegal’s first post-colonial president and it aims to celebrate black civilizations’ contributions across the world.
