Exhibition Explores Senghor's Poetry and Cultural Diplomacy

Original: « En compagnie de Senghor : quand la Culture rencontre la Diplomatie » Suivez les traces du Pape Jean-Paul II, découvran

An exhibition in France examines how Léopold Sédar Senghor, Senegal's poet-president, used culture as diplomacy, centred on his 1976 work 'Chants d'Ombre', illustrated by André Masson with sand from Joal. It also traces Pope John Paul II's encounter with Senghor's legacy, drawing attention to the links between art and international relations.

Why now: The exhibition opening has just been announced, drawing interest in Senghor's role as a poet-diplomat.
