Artist @alexis-peskine - renowned for his work on race and identity - uses his new installation to reimagine the events from The Raft of Medusa (1816) in light of the current migrant crisis. On show now at Galerie le Manége at the Institute Francais in Dakar. “ I wanted to create a body of work around this theme and to talk about migrants; talk about colonialism,” he tells @nataalmedia.

Remember when I was at the only place I wanted to be in the entire world? Yeah, let's just go back to that. #Louvre #paris #raftofmedusa #sorrryimnotsorry #itryhardforanintrovert (at Musée du Louvre)

3 years ago I was finishing my film and body of work, Raft of Medusa. It was a turning point in my career. It was all in Dakar, Senegal 🇸🇳 where I showed at the Biennale thanks to Simon Njami & at the Institut Français thanks to Nadège Chouat. Today, thanks to @sandra_sainte_rose I am given an opportunity to produce it as my first live art performance at the same place I filmed some of the scenes: Le Musée de L’Immigration, formerly Le Musée des Colonies, which I thought embodied perfectly the bullying colonial past and even present that my country tries to hide. I thought it was dishonest to talk about a « migrant crisis » without talking about France’s 🇫🇷 exploitation of African countries and its colonial past. Today come see my first art performance at Le Musée de L’Immigration and get there a little early at 14h30 🕝 because the performance is only 20 minutes and it won’t wait! You will see the magnificent work of hair artist and fashion designer @murielle.kabile_hair_couture_ , the make up and body art of Mame Aissatou Mansaly, the models and artists/dancers @comoe_josue & Assiata. The music 🎼 produced by my brother Adrien @gystere Peskine & @enchantee_julia Julia Cinna, which will be performed by my powerful and beautiful Sistrens @samlavital , @dorismusic , Nawal Mlanao, @ambanso , and the Baay Fall Mouride Singer Tapha! #blackness #raftofmedusa #raftofmedusathereturnofthewave #colonialism #art #music #museedelimmigration #migrants #travelers #baayfall #bayefall #spirituality #justice #africa #france #francafrique #senegal🇸🇳 #senegal #paris #dakar #salvadorbahia #brasil #brasileiro #racism #issy #issylesmoulineaux @lesarchesdissy @villedissy #blessed #theuniverse #theuniversehasyourback (at Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvWABk9DSYi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=150a195gyoola

LONDON! Come see the London premiere of my film RAFT OF MEDUSA Tonight at @redrooster_ldn, BIAS/CUT: A Pop-Up Experience curated by @___niama___ in partnership with @everart.io will feature the London premiere of my short film Raft of Medusa, as well as wonderful mixed media work from @kwesiabbensetts , @hakeemthedreem , and @adamadelphine . Join us for an evening of art, canapés, cocktails, and more inspired by the richness of the Black Diaspora at Red Rooster Shoreditch. Raft of Medusa (2016) is a mediation on Senegalese migration to France, and a commentary raising questions of who is the true beneficiary from the relationships and inherent tensions between the African Diaspora and the West as a whole. #senegal #london @london @villedissy @lesarchesdissy #bahia #paris #migrantlivesmatter #blacklivesmatter #art #film #racism #raftofmedusa #colonialism #france #uniscontrelefranccfa

Comment: alexispeskine said "Ndeye Thiam has a powerful voice and life story! Met her in Ngor at the restaurant that she put together from literally nothing after leaving an abusive wedding. One day I recorded her singing a praise that became the theme of my film Raft of Medusa. Tonight, to thank her my brother and I decided to record her at her house with her choir of young girls, so that people of our World may hear her voice. I wish her to live up to the greatness that the Universe has destined for her. #raftofmedusa #dakart2016 #senegal #africa #ngor"
