Seydi Ada Camara, Senegal.

A ceramic artist, Seydi Ama Camara was born in 1945 in Bignona, a small town in Senegal where she lives todate. Displaying her sculptures in the yard around her house, she fires her creations in an open-hearth kiln.

Her work is based on timeless stories and revealed truths... on the world of human beings and the objects that surround them. Her status as an Oulof woman, raised by a mother who was a potter, also has a bearing on her pieces with an obligation to portray past and present.

Her clay sculptures were included in the exhibition 'Magiciens de a Terre" at the Pompidou Centre in 1989 and her work is featured in many private and public collections all over the world.

Hamedine Kane The School of Mutants 1, 2019

Numbered 3 of an edition of 4+2AP (on accompanying certificate of authenticity), printed 2022. Digital photograph printed on Hahemühle Photorag. 80 by 118cm., 31½ by 46½in. (image size); 89 by 128cm., 35 by 50⅜in. (sheet size). Framed: 92 by 131cm., 36¼ by 51⅝in.

The School of Mutants 1 (2021) is a photograph of the abandoned campus of the African Future University. The work forms part of a broader research project, L’École des Mutants, a collaborative art and research platform co-initiated by Kane and artist Stéphane Verlet-Bottéro in Dakar. The project revolves around the forgotten history of radical educational experiments in Senegal. The futuristic ruins of the University of the African Future, a pan-African academic utopia co-financed by many African states and Taiwan in the 1990s, stand abandoned in Sébikotane, a rural suburb of Dakar. Not far away are the remains of the colonial school William Ponty, where the first West and Central African independence fighters were trained. The resulting image is charged with the convergence of past, present and future possibilities, while the uncompleted campus stands as a monument to dreams deferred.

maurice leblanc was like. what if johnlock but they only plan jewel and art heists together and dress in outrageous disguises every single time. the genius one fakes his death but the friend actually helps him do it and they still hang out while he's supposed to be dead and they have so much fun together. and this netflix team was like awesome. we're serving this with bbc sherlock aesthetics. we're casting the most beautiful and charming man on earth. he's black and senegalese and all the heists are gleefully duping white french colonizers and robbing them of their blood diamonds. and that's what you missed on lupin!
