While fishing has always been a pillar of Senegalese culture, it is currently endangering communities and natural ecosystems with the industrialisation of the coastline and a globalised reappropriation of resources. Working with the legal organisation ClientEarth, Hamedine Kane has created an artistic proposal addressing these issues in collaboration with the individuals most affected by the sudden changes to their main and traditional activity. By documenting the stories through numerous exchanges, he brings socio-environmental issues into a cultural institution that calls for reflection through art, and reinforces the role of institutions in a collective dialogue.
