THE CONTOURS OF A CHANGING CITY

An attraction, an innovation – Synapses perceive the city of Dakar as a brain with its different connections centralized by a set of multidisciplinary projects that open the Biennale to other artistic mediums (urban cultures, mapping, cinema, dance, etc.). The city is a biological space; it unfolds and molts into a diversity of projects that tell the City, society and the contours of a changing world. The project aims at transforming the city into a network where all stakeholders will necessarily be caught in the meshes of a vast Biennale-woven net. Synapses occupy space and connect the capital’s remotest places. The projects are scattered around the city. They emerge at random from needs and interact with the population.
