Sylvain Sankalé

Born in Dakar in 1960 with, particularly, origins in Senegal and the Caribbean, Sylvain Sankalé, now a consultant, ran a parallel career as a lawyer at the Bars of Dakar and Paris, a doctoral thesis in history of law and economic and social facts devoted to Saint-Louis of Senegal and important activities of art criticism.

The latter earned him membership in the International Association of Art Critics (AICA) and President of DAK'ART, Biennale of Contemporary African Art, for the edition of 2000.
