Dakar Car Rapide Livery Painter

Paint a Dakar minibus bumper to roof with bright panels, stripes, lettering and decorative motifs, while a client brief asks for specific colours and patterns.

Heritage note

Part of the living heritage of Senegal. Some forms of this practice carry deep meaning for the communities who keep it; here we describe the play and the craft only, with respect for its roots.

Origins

A living tradition passed from person to person; it is not tied to a single dated origin. It belongs to the cultural world of Africa: Sahel, West and Central.
