"Oumou Sy” – Senegalese designer… and more
20 min. report, “Metropolis”, Südwestrundfunk (SWR/ARTE)
Director: Verena Knümann
Production: Gigaherz
Camera: Raphael Scriba
Oumou Sy lives and works in Medina, the poor people’s district of Dakar, but as a fashion designer and artist she is internationally well-known. She presents her show rooms and exhibitions in Paris and New York; she is a celebrated star of the Documenta Art Fair. In her African home country Senegal, the illiterate Oumou Sy speaks her mind – also when it comes to politics. Oumou Sy: an unusual, a dedicated woman.
