In ‘Giving Birth’ by filmmaker Fatou Kandé Senghor, we follow ceramicist Seyni Awa Camara (1945), whose work ‘Anare Agnilie’ is currently on view as part of the group exhibition ‘Radically Naive / Naively Radical’.

Camara grew up in a family of ceramicists, but her practice consists of autonomous sculptural works rather than utilitarian products. Despite her artistic fame and financial success, she lives almost isolated in a small village in the Casamance region of Senegal. This documentary is one of the few testimonials that reveals the complexities of the extravagant artist.
