Adouna potou ndaalaa kou naan diokh sa moroom (wolof).

"The world is a pot of water, you use it to drink and then you pass it on to your neighbor to do the same..." It's now a question of passing the baton to others, to all the others who are also bearers of the contextualized vision they have of the world, which essentially belongs to all of us! It is our "moral" responsibility not to overshadow the move towards a brighter future, because it brings energies that are genuinely beneficial to human beings.
 
The de-Westernization of the world must begin with an attitude of humility and a willingness to listen to all the other voices, wisdoms, knowledge, civilizations and spiritualities that the patent globalizers of yesterday and today have arrogantly ignored until now. Out of decency, we must abandon our destructive arrogance and obey the invitation to silence that the urgency of the moment demands of us all. Artistically, this installation is a place of potential and tangible human commerce, where we deal with the human in the making.

​

Technical details of the work: 
At least 100 plastic pots in different colors, (the kind you see in abundance in African markets, and which now serve as water pots for those who still use canaries), they hang, scattered over the surface of the walls of the space.

The colors are important, their liveliness a dialogue, a foreshadowing of tomorrows that could be better. Different people from different backgrounds are asked to write on a sheet of paper a word that symbolizes the future for them, then fold the sheet and place it in one of the pots lining the space.  

If they wish, they can be invited inside the intimate space to defend their word over a cup of tea. A light, spherical structure made of canvas, evoking the shape of a giant water pot, stands in the center of the room (2 to 3 m in diameter, at least 2 m high), with a door leading to the inside of the pot. All the words collected will be made available to a spoken word artist, to be used as material in the composition of texts to be declaimed in performances during the biennial.
