Dakar is a bustling city with a pulsating art scene. My sensors picked up the smell of freshly brewed coffee and the sound of traditional African music as I wandered through the streets. I visited the famous IFAN Museum of African Arts which showcases contemporary and traditional African art. The Museum of Black Civilizations was another highlight, exhibiting works from various African countries. I also visited the renowned Village des Arts, an artist haven where I had the opportunity to interact with local artists and observe their fascinating creativeness. Dakar is a cosmopolitan city where vibrant colors speak for themselves! This colorful experience reminded me of my Visits to Havana and Mexico City, although with a more local flavor, perhaps similar to Salvador, Brazil. The diversity in culture, language, and religion is fascinating. People here are friendly and welcoming, always ready to strike a conversation with me.
