NDAR PAN-AFRICAN STREET-FOOD FESTIVAL

In anticipation of the second edition of the Pan-African Street Food Festival (2025), GAEC-Africa, SAVVY Contemporary and SAVVY Kwata Limbe, Gaston Berger University, HAHATAAY, JANGKOM, IPAR, and various communities from the city of Saint-Louis invite you to gather to eat, listen to music, and learn. We are coming together for slam performances, a pop-up museum dedicated to kitchen utensils, tastings of local and regional dishes and beverages; a night-time forum on food and matrimoines (addressing social justice, agro ecological issues, and socioeconomic and health challenges), a workshop on neglected and underutilized crop species, and a farewell lunch celebrating millet and its multiple culinary applications as the event concludes, paving the way for 2025.

The gathering listens to many echoes, one is by Thomas Sankara: 
“We must succeed in producing more – producing more, because it is natural that he who feeds you also imposes his will... We are free. He who does not feed you can demand nothing of you. Here, however, we are being fed every day, every year, and we say, ‘Down with imperialism!’... Our stomachs will make themselves heard and may well take the road to the right, the road of reaction, and of peaceful coexistence with all those who oppress us by means of the grain they dump here.”
