I am convinced of one fact: In excess, there is an increased awareness of the truth of things.
WHY dialog?
DIALOG with who?

- "Soppaliku" (or metamorphosis) is a work that I conducted in 1996 (technical stylographie on fabric), and is a staging of two terms of an identity conflict in Senegal. A country shaken, over time and space by violent Arab and European cultural "attacks".
- There are cultural consequences as a result of these attacks. We note that in the Senegalese elite there is a social divide: One part being of the Arabized elite, while the other is of the westernized elite.
- "Soppaliku" exudes a certain melancholy that is personified by two characters who are suffering so intensely from the existential misunderstanding in which their historical legacy and current external environment exposes them.
- Should we reconcile these two extremes of cultural alienation?
- We must solve these cultural equations before tipping the African continent towards it's historical destiny: Unity ... Pan-Afrika.
- Siggi_Taxaw_SEMEtt is for the cultural emancipation of Africa
