Black Rock Senegal is a multidisciplinary artist-in-residence program founded in 2019 by internationally acclaimed artist Kehinde Wiley. Located in Dakar, Senegal, the residency fosters new artistic creation by facilitating collaborative exchanges and challenging global perceptions about Africa. It provides a platform for artists from around the world to explore and create within the rich cultural context of West Africa, specifically Senegal's capital. The program is named after the volcanic rocks that dot its local shoreline and is designed by Senegalese architect Abib Djenne, featuring private studios and communal spaces that encourage interaction and innovation among residents. Residents enjoy comprehensive support including lodging, studios, stipends for materials, meals, and assistance from local staff. Black Rock Senegal not only immerses artists in Dakar’s vibrant cultural scene but also engages them with the community through workshops, open studios, and cultural tours, enhancing their global and local networks.
