The group consisting of artists, writers, film-makers, performance artists and musicians. The group was based at Dakar's squatted until the squatted village was evicted by the army ion 23 September 1983 The collective made work in a variety of medium, including paint, found objects, sculpture, performance art and street art. Their exhibitions were organised around satyrical theatrical productions of Leopold Senghor and Aime Cesaire's works. The collective marked a move away from Negritude philosophy of Senghor and Cesaire and towards a more avant-garde critique of both modernism and traditional ideas while still drawing from both. (en)
