Porous Grounds, Sacred Codes


Porous Grounds, Sacred Codes is a large-scale exhibition project that takes you on a powerful and inspiring journey through themes of collectivity, diaspora, and cultural identity. Seven artists with roots in West Africa—Yacine Tilala Fall, Selly Raby Kane, Maguette Dieng, Ican Ramageli, Hamedine Kane, Eva Diallo, and Babacar Traoré “Doli”—are jointly creating a multi-sensory total installation incorporating sculpture, sound, textiles, video, and performance. While each artist maintains their unique signature, the extraordinary collective process of creation is central. The exhibition seeks to explore what it means to build an artistic universe together, in which every background and perspective is given space.
