The Itinéraires Artistiques de Saint-Louis returns for its 11th edition, from 3 May to 3 June 2025 at the CRDS in Saint-Louis, Senegal. The event, which has become a landmark in the African cultural landscape, today unveils its official poster, announcing an edition rich in diversity, creation and exchange.
A poster that symbolises a month of creation and encounters
Designed in a contemporary and rooted spirit, the 2025 poster reflects the plural identity of the exhibition: a bridge between generations, territories and artistic expressions. It sets the tone for an ambitious event, resolutely turned towards Africa and the world.
Through the poster: an exhibition in motion
The official poster for the 11th edition of the Itinéraires Artistiques de Saint-Louis is much more than a visual. It is a sensitive gateway into the world of the exhibition.
It deploys a diagonal movement of fluid materials and colours, evoking passage, transformation and the circulation of ideas. Inspired by a work by artist Babu Ly, it blends aquatic hues, pictorial gestures and layered transparencies, as an invitation to explore the indefinite and the sensory.
The colours — deep blue, diffused pink, brilliant white — evoke the river, the sky and the vibration of contemporary creation alike.
At the centre, the Itinéraires Artistiques logo anchors itself as a graphic landmark, clear and refined — a symbol of connection, journey and interconnection. It enters into dialogue with modern typography and dynamic framing, a reminder that this exhibition is in motion, alive, in step with its time.
The whole expresses:
- the plurality of artists (40 in total),
- the diversity of invited countries (7, with The Gambia as guest of honour),
- and the shared energy between creation, transmission and exchange.
