- DirectorManthia DiawaraStarsManthia DiawaraA Letter from Yene emerges from conversations with the community in the seaside town of Yene, Senegal, where Diawara lives for part of the year. The area was traditionally and primarily occupied by fishermen and farmers but has in recent decades been besieged by coastal erosion and uncontrolled urbanisation. Fish have become scarce and the pirogues, traditional fishing boats, cannot go far enough into the sea, so their owners have turned to new occupations. Modern fishing requires motorised boats and large nets made from non-biodegradable wires that become lethally entangled with purple coral, and human detritus, eventually washing up on shores like woven creatures of the sea. The women who used to smoke fish and preserve it as part of a sustainable mode of living now sell pebbles to the owners of the newly built houses. The sand, granite, shells and pebbles that affluent house owners buy to build, decorate and protect their homes against the winds and salt of the sea contribute, ironically, to the degradation of the bottom layers of the ocean and intensify coastal erosion. A Letter from Yene is produced by Maumaus/Lumiar Cité and commissioned by Serpentine, MUBI and PCAI Polygreen Culture and Art Initiative as part of Serpentine's Back to Earth project, with additional support from Ministério da Cultura/Direção-Geral das Artes and Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung, Dakar.
