Scope and content

Most of the walls of houses in Saint Louis, Senegal, are covered with paintings depicting the master of the Mourid Brotherhood, Amadou Bamba. These frescoes are also to be found on ships' flags, on barouches, and in bedrooms. Most of them bear the signature of Thiam B.B. This film introduces us to Mourid ideas through these paintings and a meeting with Thiam, a mystical, vagabond painter.

      Note

      FRANCES La plupart des murs des maisons de Saint-Louis sont recouverts de peintures figurant le maître de la confrérie mouride, Amadou Bamba. Ces fresques sont aussi présentes sur les drapeaux des bateaux, sur les calèches, sur certains vêtements, sur les devantures des boutiques, dans les chambres à coucher. La plupart d'entre elles sont signées Thiam B. B. Ce film est une immersion dans la pensée mouride au travers de ces peintures, de la rencontre avec Thiam, peintre vagabond et mystique, ainsi qu'avec les habitants de plusieurs maisons de Saint-Louis.
