The Turbine Hall hosts a rare showing of two groundbreaking films by the acclaimed Senegalese Director Djibril Diop Mambéty (1945–98). Afrobeat DJ Rita Ray sets the scene for these powerful, rarely seen films.

Djibril Diop Mambéty was the most wildly talented and irreverent filmmaker to emerge from Africa at the end of the 1960s. His striking work is marked by its radical use of sound and wry, satirical approach to colonialism.

This performance will be in conjunction with the display of photographs by Seydou Keita.
