About Dak'Art Biennale
Dak'Art is the oldest continuously running pan-African contemporary-art biennial, founded in Dakar in 1992. Its visual language — yellow ochre on indigo on coal black, with sand-textured surfaces and monumental sans-serif headlines — is the most accomplished Pan-African modernist graphic identity of the post-independence era.
The aesthetic channels the Village des Arts on opening day: harmattan dust against pavilion walls, Wolof and French in the same breath, El Anatsui tapestries catching light in a colonial warehouse. It speaks from Dakar to the world.
