Djibril Sall

Djibril Sall is a queer Senegalese performer, choreographer and writer. Born in Dakar, he grew up in a working-class family in the Deep South of the United States and was educated at the “elite” Wesleyan University. He describes himself in these terms to illustrate the range of privileges he holds – as someone who has worked from the peripheries of the Global South to someone who can now move unencumbered within and beyond the borders of the Global North. His work is situated at the intersection of (racialized) migration and belonging, where he questions the forces that compel people to leave. This inquiry includes his own migration background and his reflections on (non-)belonging and in-betweenness. The central question he poses to himself and to his audience is: “How can trauma become a departure point for exploring pleasure, letting go, disclosure, and open-hearted connection?”
