From Dakar: Street Stories

VIP: Friday, October 4th, 5-8PM (RSVP on website)

Open Reception, October 5th, 5-9PM

From Dakar: Street Stories by Mame Cheikh Mbaye is deeply personal, as he uses himself as a vessel for his art. His photography is not an external creation but an extension of his own being. Each image is imbued with his personal experiences, his connection to his griot heritage, and his profound understanding of human emotion. In his street photography, you see this intimate connection—his art flows through him, capturing the essence of the subjects and the streets with a raw, unfiltered honesty. His photographs are not just snapshots of a moment; they are reflections of his worldview and inner narrative. This intrinsic relationship between the artist and his work is what makes his photography resonate so deeply, inviting viewers to not only observe the stories but to feel them as part of a larger, shared human experience.
