Paris+ par Art Basel | Unboxing | Seyni Awa Camara 

<p>Arriving at Paris+ par Art Basel are two of Senegalese artist Seyni Awa Camara’s terracotta sculptures. The Wolof artist was born in the 1940s among triplets – a mythic origin that evokes the interplay between the visible and invisible worlds in African cosmogony. She was raised by her mother, a potter who taught Camara about sculpture as a child. To this day, Camara models her clay in front of her home and fires the work in an open-hearth kiln. An inner calling guides her work: many pieces reflect a world of animals and humans or, as seen here, maternal figures surrounded by children.  </p>
<p>Seyni Awa Camara, <em>Untitled</em> (2019) and <em>Untitled</em> (2023), are presented by <a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/gallery/21646/Magnin-A">Magnin-A</a> (Paris).  </p>
