A history which is directly linked to the development of the senegalese nation and its national identity. Senegal is a quite newly independent country whose construction of a common identity was manufactured by its first governments to fix the problems that the chaotic division of African land had created. Excavating one will lead to talk about the other. \n\nFormat: exhibition \n\nMedia: Video, Fashion design\n\nContent:\n- series of short films tracing this history through interviews, archival photos of clothes and people from the early 20th century to now\n- setting up of clothes representative of the history of the style.
