Dak’Art 2022: TBD
Since 1990, Dak’Art has been a platform for contemporary art rooted in African culture. The biennale festival brings together the best of local artists and those across the continent.

Not only is the festival supported by the Senegalese government, but it has also drawn audiences from far and wide in recent years and is now considered the World Festival of Black Arts.
