is proud to unveil it's first AI generated collection created at Dakar Design Hub AI Lab.

"LEER LIGHT" is the chosen name for the second collection and short film written and directed by Ibrahima Diop. The designs are crafted with the narrative of the film "LEER-LIGHT" in mind, which tells the story of a couple giving birth to a daughter, a Ceeñeer who will live until she reunites with her Ceeñeer ancestors. This collection will represent Ceeñeer in all its nuances: as a glimmer of hope after the effort made during childbirth, personified by the birth of a child, ancestral, and loving. Patterns on the fabrics will illustrate these themes.

Dakar Design Hub is hosting artist to talk live about her journey in Generative AI.

Delphine Diallo, a French-Senegalese artist, began her journey in music, graphic design, and artistic direction before a pivotal meeting with photographer Peter Beard (1938-2020) led her to photography. Since 2014, Diallo has been creating a visual language that celebrates the divine female body and elevates black women in art.

Recently, she has embraced AI to push the boundaries of visual storytelling, creating thought-provoking masterpieces that blend her mental pictures, lucid dreams, and cultural heritage with the limitless possibilities of AI. Diallo's innovative use of AI-generated collages, montages, and self-portraiture has established her as a trailblazer at the intersection of art and technology, challenging traditional notions of portraiture and empowering women through her groundbreaking artworks.

On Instagram Live - Friday 5th April at 2 PM Dakar time.
