Dak'art 2008

Dakar has been hosting pretty wicked art displays all over the city. I had the pleasure of viewing a few of the installations.



This piece calls for the end of clandestine immigration by siting the high fatality rates of the dangerous voyage into Europe from Dakar. The painting is made from part of a boat that crashed and over 200 people died.



And who doesn't like a good diarama?



I enjoyed the sleek nature of this piece.



Saw the Baobob Orchestra at the French Cultural Center in Dakar. Kinda too World Music for me. All the older expats seem to love them. Tho, the sax player was such a character.
