PICK OF THE DAY Exhibition
In the organizer's words:

ifa-Galerie Stuttgart shows pioneers of Senegalese modernism: Survival Kit by Ken Aïcha Sy opens on October 31st

Following the German premiere at the ifa-Galerie Berlin, curator Ken Aïcha Sy is now showing her long-standing research project Survival Kit at the ifa-Galerie Stuttgart. Ken Aïcha Sy, one of the most important voices on Senegalese art history between 1960 and 1990, continues her critical examination of it here. From November 1, 2025 to March 22, 2026, the presentation in Stuttgart is dedicated to the pioneers of Senegalese modernism under the title Monochromie der Négritude oder die Einführung in den Modernismus. The exhibition presents works by eight artists who have had a significant influence on Senegalese art history. The starting point for Sy's both critical and very personal research into Senegalese art from 1960 to 1990 is, among other things, her family archive. The exhibition is under the patronage of UNESCO.
