Finally, tthe artists reached Senegal last week after passing through Mali with lots of exciting and inspiring stops along the way!
Over one month into the epic trans-continental journey from Lagos to Sarajevo the participating artists have crossed five borders, confronted several checkpoints, worked in seven cities with numerous artists and engaged with local communities through research, exchange and public art work.
After a nine day stay in Bamako they have reached Dakar, Senegal and are already down to working hard.
Here are the artists at work during one of their weekly critic sessions. They are still soaking up Dakar and will be moving on to Mauritania and Morrocco. But first we'll give you a brief insight into what they've been up to!

While in Dakar the participants have been able to
collaborate with Les Petite Pierres and held an event with them this
Thursday. As well as that the artists have collaborated on workshops with
local participants, performance interventions with the neighborhood's
fallen Baobab tree in Ouakam and explored methods of image making using
street photography at Goree Island.
