Casamance

In Casamance, a region in southern Senegal, a century-old cultural heritage has survived through the stories passed down by elders, traditions rich in rituals, dances, colors, and customs that have moved from one generation to the next. With no written records, the voices of these elders have been the only guardians of this people’s history. Today, however, globalization threatens this heritage, and the city already one of the most underserved areas lacks a proper place to express and preserve its culture. For this reason, there is a need for a space that can showcase the narratives, arts, and identity of the community: a cultural venue that not only supports traditions but also carries the memory of resistance and the scars left by the conflicts of 1980 to 2005.
