A study break and a peek into the going-ons in the neighbouring kognes during English class.
For two of our events we had perched the antenna on the first floor of the corner house on Rue Biscuiterie 16, which actually houses the 'Centre pour le suive scholaires apres l'ecole.' The professor who runs this afterschool 'school' had been very interested in the goings on outside. The students had also watched us set up the antenna, hang the screen out of the windows in the midst of their classes. We wanted to spend an evening with them, explain what we had been doing. The professor was keen that we tell them about India and the work we do there. We gave them short presentations during the English class for the 9th standard students, and hooked up the radio transmitter for some demonstrations.
We also showed a small film of the previous five days of activity, negotiations with the market, and so on. This was followed by an animated question and answer session, which rounded up this wonderful "evening".
Sept Soirees was a series of battery-powered "evenings" in the Marche N' Gellaw, a suburban market in Dakar, Senegal. These evenings were conceived in a situation where there is scarce time, space or other resources for communal activity at a certain scale. Also because of the peculiar condition of cinemas in Dakar: there are only two still functioning.
These "micro-cinema" and "micro-radio" events are performed by showing up at a street corner with some equipment, and negotiating the rest.
