A documentary screening about Camara's practice by multidisciplinary artist Fatou Kande Senghor.
Internationally recognized Senegalese sculptor Seni Camara (born 1945, lives and works in Bignona, Senegal) is known for the terracotta sculptures she has made since the 1960s, which address the intersections of maternity, fertility, and myth. Her fantastical sculptures are rooted in divine revelation and local tradition, and often feature multi-headed animal figures carrying, caring for, or giving birth to their offspring. While these works allude to totems and other folkloric visual customs, they are wholly unique in content, form, and reference to both collective and personal histories.
Camara's works have been exhibited widely and have been included in the seminal Pompidou Centre global art exhibition Magiciens de la Terre, 100% Africa at the Guggenheim Bilbao, and at the 2015 Venice Biennale All the World's Futures, and Art/Afrique Le Nouvel Atelier at Fondation Louis Vuitton, among countless other exhibitions.
