VASA exhibitions is presening the work of  Amsatou Diallo

The exhibition entitled "Le Reve" or "The Dream" addresses more than a technique but a reaching out, a dream, that points beyond racism to social and economic inequality. The masterful use of polyptych in depicting what she refers to as a dream; a grasp of "a" reality that could eaisly slip through your hands.

Amsatou Diallo, a an artist from Ségou who activates the photo collage technique to create her vivid and pointed statement on the dreams of those in third and second world countries of a better life.  Underneath her images is the echoing question why are things the way they are, and how are they maintained.  Within a capitalist economic system access to a better life is limited because you need those at the bottom to hold up those at the top.

On VASA Exhibitions:

VASA, since 2008, has provided an international platform for individual and group exhibitions, collaborative exhibitions with various organizations and galleries and exhibitions that follow a particular theme or inquiry such as “Where Do We Go Now” curated by Rui Cepeda and the “Kharkiv School of Photography: Soviet Censorship to New Aesthetics” curated by Igor Manko.

VASA Exhibitions are international and multicultural.  The curatorial team has strived to present work that not only represents the photographers but also the social, historical and cultural.  As an online international project, VASA works to engage various digital tools.  Video, as an example, not only offers the potential for the presentation of works, it provides the opportunity and framework for the voice of the author to be seen and heard.   Through image, text, sound and animation, VASA works to expand the exhibition paradigm and provide a rich experience for the viewer (as well as the author).

VASA Exhibitions provides a viewing and research environment by archiving all of the exhibitions in their entirety. For example, the viewer may view a 2009 exhibition as it was presented and not just traces of its existence.

VASA Exhibitions (a program in VASA) includes images, videos and sound works.
