Artistic Sabbars of DakarArtistic Sabbars of Dakar
A curatorial and political project created to make room for the voices, gestures, and imaginaries of African, Afro-descendant, and Black women.

Working gallery
While waiting for final posters and visuals, the page establishes a reference visual language for the platform.
Performative gestures and staged forms confronting the body, memory, and politics.
A space for traces, documents, texts, and images that extend each edition.

Typical program
The project is structured as a constellation of formats rather than a simple sequence of appointments.
Screenings, readings, and conversations connecting cinema, texts, voices, and political memory.
Transmission sessions, workshops, laboratories, and intergenerational exchanges with artists and participants.
Performances, staged forms, research, and interventions that shift perspective and activate public space.
Invited artists and curators
Researchers, writers, and thinkers
Cultural institutions and venues in Dakar
Committed international partners
A first edition establishes the project and documents the strength of its multidisciplinary approach.
The site can now host future programs, archives, visuals, and video traces as the project grows.
The project's lines of force
The project works through the place of archives, the circulation of revolutionary gestures, poetic speech, performance forms, and the critique of domination.
Within that logic, Sabbar connects cinema, literature, visual arts, social sciences, dance, and performance as complementary languages for thinking the present.
A platform for audiences, artists, and institutions
The project speaks to cultural audiences as much as to emerging artists, researchers, institutions, and international partners seeking locally grounded forms of collaboration.
Its impact lies in its ability to create an intense temporary community and position Dakar as a space of thought and transnational creation.
A permanent editorial axis for the site
Sabbar can become a permanent editorial axis of the site: project page, edition archives, gallery, video excerpts, program, partners, and future calls.
This version already establishes the narrative and visual foundation for that evolution.
