Ode to My Fashion

Hello there!  I finally went to the former Court house to see another biennale exhibition. I dragged the boys along the way. For Dak'Art 2022, the courthouse has been transformed into a huge art gallery, colorful and green. It was a very quiet and charming place. I just wish that our gouvernement finally do something about it and turn the entire place into a family friendly open space.  Salut tout le monde!   Je suis finalement allée à l'ancien palais de justice pour voir une autre exposition de la biennale.

Which leads me to my first lesson: 1- The same way you prepare for a marriage, you should also prepare for a divorce My divorce was out of the blue. It was not something I had planned. And I guess I should have. I should have learned about the local laws on marriage and divorce. I should have learned about my rights a...

 Hello! After 4 long years, the Dakar Biennale is back. From May 19 to June 21 2022, many artists from here and there will have the opportunity to showcase their arts in the capital city but also in other regions.
