Vlisco goes to Dakar

Inspired by the pulsating energy of Dakar’s creative scene and its pioneering talents, Vlisco’s very first exhibition space in the country connected like-minded individuals passionate about the intersection of art and identity.

From May 19 to May 22 of 2024, Dakar's exclusive women's club,
The Third, was reborn as The Vlisco House.

Over four days, Vlisco’s exhibition space showcased the evocative works of four Senegalese artistic visionaries: Selly Raby Kane, Linda Dounia Rebeiz, Audrey d’Erneville and Fatiya Diene Mazza.

The Vlisco House served as a stage for artistic exchange and cultural celebration.
