The « Urban Cultures at the Heart of the 2020 Biennale » project is an Africulturban Association initiative (a première on urban cultures in Africa). It will take place from May 19 to June 21, 2020 as part of the Biennale of Arts, and is represented by a major segment called PASS XPO, a project designed to promote visual arts among young people in Dakar and its suburbs. Africulturban will rely on the popularity of the Flow Up (Senegal’s biggest Hip Hop and urban cultures competition) to promote the Biennale’s exhibitions. Nine concerts will be organized for over 4500 young people from Dakar and the major suburbs to discover a large section of the Palais de Justice exhibitions. All necessary logistics will be put in place to ensure that the public can only access the Flow Up stage through the Biennale’s IN exhibition course. Thus, the Flow Up audience will be treated to a double show mixing visual and musical arts. The teams of Senegal Talents Campus, a new artistic and cultural professional and technical training center, will provide the technical stage of the 12 concerts.
