The 16th Dakar Biennale is themed around “(Anti)Fragility”. It brings together artists from across the African continent and its diasporas around the world, including island and archipelagic spaces.

Kevin Rouillard works with reclaimed industrial materials, mainly large metal drums and containers that are flattened, hammered, compressed, and welded. His sculptures and wall installations emerge from discarded objects already marked by transport, use, and the circulation of goods. By removing them from their original function, he grants them an autonomous and contemplative presence.
