About — Selebe Yoon 0 Located in downtown Dakar, Selebe Yoon is a contemporary art gallery and an artist and curatorial residency founded by Jennifer Houdrouge in December 2020. Built in 1952, this modern building is an emblematic example of Dakar's architectural history. "Selebe Yoon" means in Wolof the crossroad, the intersection of paths. With its 1,000 square meters, Selebe Yoon has several exhibition rooms, a library, artists studios and accommodations for our residents. The program is punctuated by large-scale thematic and monographic exhibitions featuring artists of the younger generation as well as major figures of the post-colonial period. Our exhibitions take over the entirety of the space and transform the place in a new way, putting the public experience at the center. Archival and research spaces dedicated to parallel disciplines in collaboration with art historians, curators, and architects, accompany the exhibitions and/or become the object of presentations in one of our exhibition room. As a contemporary art gallery committed to the international scene, Selebe Yoon accompanies its artists on projects outside the gallery walls and internationally. Through our residency and a public program consisting of encounters with artists and curators, round tables, performances or literary recitals, our venue is conceived as a space of exchange and reflection for the public at large.
