Tradition & Transmission

 
 

FEATURING WORKS BY

Audrey d’Erneville

CO-CURATED BY
Mohamed Cissé

 
 
 
 

While centered on a contemporary backdrop, Audrey’s art also emerges very much from a place of nostalgia. It celebrates the ancient living cultures so evident in cities across the African Diaspora such as Dakar, Senegal.

 
 
 

In this body of work entitled Tradition & Transmission, specifically created for Atlanta, Audrey interrogates the tension between conserving culture and ensuring its evolution through fluid interaction with global influences.

 
 
 
 
 
 

In just the same way a griot/storyteller interprets what is going on in the here and now while grounding it in history and tradition, Audrey’s work shouts loudly of a rich, complex and many-layered history holding its own within an absolutely ultra contemporary modernity.
