Biography
A centre for art, knowledge and society, RAW Material Company focuses on curatorial practice, art education, residencies, knowledge production and the archiving of art theory and criticism. It works to foster appreciation and growth of artistic and intellectual creativity in Africa. Transdisciplinary, the programme is equally informed by literature, film, architecture, politics, fashion, cuisine and the diaspora.
RAW Material Company’s premises are located in Sicap Baobabs and Zone B, which is a former 1950s residential home of modernist inspiration in a historic neighborhood of Dakar. The renovation of this space was a departure point from which RAW Material Company has developed research and projects on the role of architecture and urban planning in shaping contemporary societal discourse in African cities.
