Fatou Kiné Diouf

Fatou Kiné Diouf is a young Senegalese curator. After two years of preparatory class, she started studying English at Paris Sorbonne University where she majored in African American studies, more precisely the link between race, politics and cultural production with a focus on cinema and music. She also started a Master’s degree in Political Science at Paris 8 University, focusing on issues of diversity, representation and discriminations. Fatou Kiné Diouf is trying to develop a reflection on inequalities of both local and global scales, one that could lead to a transnational activism that respects local particularities.

She notably curated the T'étais habillée comment ? Lan nga soloon ? (What were you wearing?) exhibition at the Musée de la Femme Henriette Bathily. The exhibition tackles the issue of rape through a questioning of the above sentence that is often directed at rape victims and that aims at putting the blame on them. Different activities accompanying the exhibition further gathered different members of the civil society around reflections on this issue.

She has also taken part in the organization of different festivals and cultural programs. She is a member of VX Lab, an association focused on digital art where she works as a project manager.
