Zusammenfassung:The project, titled "Bokk – Bound", conceived by Alioune Diagne and curator Massamba Mbaye is a response to the theme of the 60th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia Stranieri Ovunque – Foreigners Everywhere. In Wolof, Bokk means "what is shared", "held in common", as well as family ties. The term Mbokk, linguistically related to Bokk and denoting kinship and brotherhood, is also central to their reflections. A selection of paintings together forming a four-by-twelve-meter puzzle-like display calls to unite and to cultivate bonds by connecting through universal challenges and values. From clandestine Mediterranean migrations to escalating poverty, resources depletion, racism and mutual dependence, some poignant scenes emerge from the works, shedding light on contemporary disasters happening in total international indifference. These striking representations stand in stark contrast to the joyful life scenes depicted and celebrating the artist's cherished values: the education of children, the legacy of traditions, and the sense of community. It is in the portraiture of women that the painter finds the embodiment of these profound ideals
