Papa Lamine started his artistic education at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux Arts in Dakar and played the violin for several years in L’Orchestre Symphonique Mélodie Divine.
After moving to Europe, he concentrated more on performing art, poetry and took his first steps in the art of textile weaving. The interaction of these various disciplines allow him to tell a story about his origin, about his past and present live like a mediator between different cultures and traditions and support.
