Souwèr from the Afric.Art collection.

For the first time in Switzerland, the Vitromusée Romont is devoting an exhibition entirely to Senegalese glass painting. It features a number of artists who stand out from the trend towards mass production and the tourist market. Their souwèr, the Wolof term for this technique, evolve in an iconographic repertoire that departs from the Islamic tradition, ranging from portraiture to genre scenes, from caricature to comic strip. Driankés, elegant women in sumptuous finery, musicians, wrestlers, embracing couples, wild animals... Senegalese life, told and imagined, unfolds before the eyes of visitors in all its contrasting variety. The works on display come from the Afric.Art collection, which comprises over a thousand paintings. Put together by Marianne Berna, the collection reflects the sensibility of a Zurich collector whose interest in this popular art form dates back to the late 90s. A frequent traveller to Senegal, she documented the workshops of Dakar through her encounters with painters.
