THE STORY, IN BRIEF
Two Africultures critics offer different readings of Dak’Art 2000. Tanella Boni emphasizes encounters, women artists and the biennial’s international dialogue, while acknowledging disputes over painting and installation. Iba Ndiaye Diadji challenges the curatorial direction and argues that Dakar’s biennial deserves better. Together, the reports document a contested moment rather than a single consensus.
