Galerie Atiss Dakar
MEDINA
Founded by Aïssa Dione, Galerie Atiss Dakar opened its doors during the first Dakar Biennale in 1996. Since then, through its commitment, Galerie Atiss Dakar aims to support and promote the work of African artists to a wider audience and to encourage the emergence of a new generation of African artists while fostering intercultural exchanges.

Know How (Savoir Faire)
In West Africa, the issue of raw material processing takes on an urgent character, as it is linked on one hand to the disappearance of traditional skills and on the other to the increase in poverty. This great paradox leads to the loss of beauty in the everyday environment, as well as to the disappearance of unique traditional and artistic knowledge. Animism breathes a soul into objects; its means of transmission is the hand, the tool. These surely and confidently guide the spirit towards an osmotic relationship with the material, which is what we understand as Art.
