Ibrahima Ndome

Our partners

Ibrahima Ndome (Dakar), Safi Niang (Conakry/Paris) and Souleymane Bachir Diaw (Dakar/Paris) are part of the Atelier Ndokette collective. They have been working together since 2019 and use photography and fashion design as their main mediums. Beyond a clothing tradition, Ndokette is a Senegalese word that refers to a tunic which represents the cultural Senegalese heritage traveling across the eras. The collective questions this temporality notion through experimentations.

 

Living between Dakar, Paris and Conakry, the collective has been firstly a place of conversations around their own contemporary socio-cultural ecosystems of which the complexity and the issues are growing. Photographs, videos and performances attest to these experiences focused on the present moment research in full consciousness, freed from a recalled past and an idealized future. The collective represents a laboratory of ideas, concepts and solutions.
