Cultural/ Religious Heritage in Africa: Senegal

  • Musée des Civilisations Noires, Senegal:

Public industrial and commercial establishment (EPIC), it coordinates, implements and monitors scientific and cultural studies in matters of black civilizations.

Its birth plunges its roots in the World Festival of the Negro Arts of 1966. Let us quote the Congresses of the black writers and artists respectively held in Paris in 1956 and in Rome in 1959; the wave of African independence in the 1960s, and later the wars of liberation in the 1990s. Events that also echoed the Pan-African Conferences held in London in 1900, as well as the Paris Congresses in 1919, by Dar es Salaam in 1974, from Kampala in 1994 and from Accra in 2014.

  • Ile de Gorée – Patrimoine mondial UNESCO , Senegal:

Gorée a été du XVe au XIXe siècle le plus grand centre de commerce d’esclaves de la côte africaine. Tour à tour sous domination portugaise, néerlandaise, anglaise et française, son architecture est caractérisée par le contraste entre les sombres quartiers des esclaves et les élégantes maisons des marchands d’esclaves. L’île de Gorée reste encore aujourd’hui un symbole de l’exploitation humaine et un sanctuaire pour la réconciliation.
