On Thursday, March 9, 2023, on the occasion of "La Nuit des galeries", an initiative of the Partcours, the Cécile Fakhoury Gallery - Dakar will be open from 6 pm to midnight, you will find the solo exhibition of the artist Ouattara Watts, "Ouattara Watts in Dakar".
Ouattara Watts in Dakar, a title phrase, like a program, which carries in it all the enthusiasm of an artist for a city. Ouattara Watts' link to Dakar is a deep and sensitive one. In his curriculum, a few Senegalese dates mark his long international career, including two years of the Biennale of Contemporary African Art - 2016, which has waited for him so long, and 2018, which finally consecrated him. The story, however, goes far beyond that. Ouattara Watts in Dakar is the consecration of an intimate relationship of the artist to this city of heart and culture that inspires him for its poetry and the great figures of intellectuals that it has seen born and still welcomes; for its musicians, for its languages and for its ocean.
