Du 7 novembre au 7 décembre 2024, la 15e Biennale d'Art Contemporain Africain de Dakar se tiendra sous le thème « The Wake – L’Éveil. »
Après le report de l’ouverture prévue de la 15e Biennale d’Art Contemporain de Dakar moins de trois semaines avant en mai, en raison de turbulences liées aux élections, le secrétariat général a reprogrammé l’événement au 7 novembre.
