Art Challenge

The editorial project presented is a rich tapestry that interlaces the vibrant heritage of African diaspora artists with the grounded, often underrepresented stories of African farmers. This collection, curated for the “Art Challenge” during the Dakar Biennale, is not just a catalogue of images but a profound conversation between art and agriculture, tradition and innovation, identity and livelihood.

Through the transformative power of art, the portraits of farmers are reimagined, transcending their original context to become striking works of visual narrative. These images bridge the gap between the daily realities of agricultural life and the expansive potential of artistic expression. This project serves as both a showcase and a statement, acknowledging the critical role of farmers in sustaining communities while celebrating their lives and labors through the eyes of artists connected by a shared heritage.​
