Alioune Diagne

Press release

National participation - Senegal

The exhibition in the Senegalese pavilion, held at the Arsenale, will be the fruit of a collaboration between Alioune Diagne, the Senegalese Ministry of Culture and Historical Heritage, and Massamba Mbaye, an art critic, curator and historian specialising in communication theories.

Centering on the theme of the river, the exhibition creates an encounter between Diagne’s previously unseen canvases and pieces from the museum’s collection by Impressionist masters and leading figures from the Rouen School.
