We joined the Josef & Anni Albers Foundation on their visit to Le Korsa – a non-profit organisation established by the Foundation which is dedicated to supporting Senegalese institutions across healthcare, art, and education.

Scroll through our week spent amongst the megaliths in Sine Ngayene, collecting fans, soap and vibrant fabrics at Tambacounda market, and learning about textile designer Aïssa Dione’s revival of Manjak weaving in Senegal. Our favourite moment? Soaking in the joyous end-of-year celebrations at Les Foyers des Jeunes Filles, a school founded and funded by Le Korsa.

For further information about the Foundation’s work in this magnificent country visit Le Korsa and Thread.
