Event Description

Full Description:
Dakar’s diverse art, architecture, urban planning, and film have played primary roles in the shaping an understanding of the city. Exploring Ousmane Sembčne’s Borom Sarret (1963) and Black Girl (1966) as well as Djibril Diop Mambéty’s Contras’ City (1968), this lecture explores the filmmakers’ use of architecture and urban space both to meditate on a city constituted in large part through the collision of hybrid constituencies and to critique Senegalese authority as well as the politics of decolonisation. The lecture is preceded by a free screening of Ousmane Sembčne’s classic 1966 film Black Girl (1966) at 6:15pm in GOMA Cinema B.
