On the occasion of the 15th Biennale des Arts de Dakar, themed “The Wake,” public programs  delve into global questions of environment, race, and healing, exploring themes such as artistic approaches to ecological repair and the role of memory across the Black Atlantic. Talks, performances, film screenings, tours, workshops, and dialogues featuring American artists and scholars link diasporas across the Atlantic and in the Caribbean, envisioned as a connected archipelago.
