Dakar Senegal World Social Forum

in #travel6 years ago

While living in Dakar Senegal a few years ago, I was able to attend the World Social Forum. The theme of the year was "An Other World is Possible" and centered around developments in agriculture around the globe. These pictures are just some of what we experienced in the streets of Dakar that day. These Fulani women were beautiful as they marched through the streets.

Simb is the lion character that is part of a ritual performed throughout Senegal. The dancer is often entranced and only certain "lion whisperers" can control the energy of the spirit when it comes through..
