Discussion with El Hadji Malick Ndiaye

Dr. Ndiaye will present and discuss his work as curator and Director of the Théodore Monod Museum in Dakar, Senegal, as well as his new project, entitled “Transmission.” At the Monod Museum, founded in 1936 as the French Institute of Black Africa (IFAN) and renamed the Fundamental Institute of Black Africa at independence, Ndiaye has experimented with research and exhibition projects that interweave contemporary art and historical heritage. This relationship lies at the heart of “Transmission” and underlies Ndiaye’s revitalization of the three museums under his supervision.

Escrevivências and [R]Existências - A bilingual English-Portuguese poetry collection featuring the works of Black Brazilian women and students of the University of Georgia

Think carefully: when was the last time you read something—poetry, a short story, a novel, an essay—written by a Black woman?

Then, ask yourself again: when was the last time you read something written by a Black woman from beyond the borders of the United States?

Escrevivências and [R]Existências, a bilingual poetry collection orchestrated under the direction of Professor Cris Lira, is a contemporary call for and answer to these questions.
