Enora Lalet is doing an artistic residncy at Alliance Française de Banjul from January 6 to February 6, 2025. Known for her series “Cooked Portraits”, where she uses food as her primary material, Enora collaborates with Gambian photographer Lena Nian to create 5 to 6 new portraits featuring Gambian women. This series is the result of 14 years of meticulous work, exploring the connections between gastronomy, the body, and visual art.
Moreover, through her residencies abroad in New Delhi, Java, Nouméa, Colombia, Indonesia, and Stockholm, Enora has enriched her artistic approach by integrating local traditional knowledge into her creations. In Banjul, she is committed to capturing the cultural essence of The Gambia through her ephemeral and evocative works.

This project is funded by the French Embassy in Senegal and The Gambia and implemented by the Alliance as part of the “We together for women’s empowerment” project: promoting women’s expression through the arts, culture, debate and entrepreneurship.
