Description:

Documentation of the workshops in Hamdallaye, Senegal, since 1999. The collective of fine artists organizes workshops in rural areas of Senegal. In 1999 it built a sociocultural center of creativity in cooperation with on-location developers, such as Maat Mbay (farmer and autodidactic fresco painter), in his home village Hamdallaye Samba M'Baye. Through "establishing a personalized graphic register for the villagers by decorating huts with a new form of alphabet, a mode of corporate identity was collectively conceived." (Information and quotation from the text by Nadja Rottner in the Documenta 11 Short Guide) [http://www.universes-in-universe.de/car/documenta/11/halle/e-huit.htm]
