The story
Partcours Dakar in Dakar
Partcours, formally Partcours: Art dans la Cite, is an annual self-guided art trail through Dakar's independent galleries and cultural spaces, held from late November into mid-December. Rather than one venue, it links exhibitions across neighborhoods like the Plateau, Medina, and Ouakam, inviting visitors to walk or drive between shows over several weeks.
Dakar's contemporary art scene is best known internationally for the Dak'Art Biennale, a government-organized event held every two years, but for over a decade the city has also hosted a very different kind of art season built from the ground up by its own galleries.
