Lecturer at the Cheikh Anta Diop University of Dakar, Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Rouen (France), former Gal secretary of the Dakar Biennale, Babacar Mbaye Diop is a Senegalese intellectual with whom we will have to rely and maybe capitulate. Who better than he to speak of a Negro-African aesthetic?

When we talk about the restitution of African cultural property, he comes forward with at least one book to cogitate Critique of the notion of African art which appears in Editions Hermann. But, for him who sails between two lands, that of Cheikh Anta Diop and that of Flaubert, small question: do we find in him rather a painting by Picasso the cubist, or rather an installation of the post-modern Romuald Hazoume ?

Babacar Mbaye Diop was the guest of En G Major ... Good listening.
