Pap Souleye Fall

Pap Souleye Fall is a Senegalese-American artist who lives and works in

Dakar, Senegal. He graduated with honors from the University of the Arts in

Philadelphia with a degree in Interdisciplinary Fine Arts and a concentration

in sculpture. In 2017, after a residency at WAAW, he participated in the

Dak’art biennale twice. He is currently in the Yale University sculpture

program finishing his Master’s degree. His work deals with themes such as

identity, suspended disbelief, and utopian/dystopian ideas on community.

Growing up loving anime and manga titles like Dragonball, Hunter x Hunter,

Berserk, and Akira, Pap Souleye’s love for storytelling and visual art led him

to create his own story. OBLIVION ROUGE was born out of his thoughts on

neocolonialism and has developed into a whole universe over two years.
