More than a call for passengers, it is part of the daily soundscape of the city, a familiar rhythm that accompanies movement, departure, and the constant flow of people through Dakar.

SMELL THE ART

An encounter between painting and scent.

Through Smell the Art, Maku Dakar explores a new way of experiencing his paintings. Each artwork is paired with one or more carefully selected fragrances, whose olfactory notes echo its colours, atmosphere and emotions. By engaging both sight and smell, this sensory experience invites viewers to discover the artwork beyond the canvas, awakening memories, sensations and personal associations.
