Youssoupha Djiba (Iffa)
b. 1978, Kafountine, Senegal

Iffa spent most of his childhood in Dakar where he  began his passion for drawing at the age of 10. His family have always supported his natural creative talent and in 1992, he started making music and dancing with his brother. This developed when he returned to Kafountine in 1999 and he now performs with his group - Degmetih. Iffa is a gifted artist and designer and his work can be found around the village.

Witness tree
Linoprint 200x300mm

The Witness Tree is the keeper of history. Iffa believes that without a written account of history, one has to go to the trees to find out about the past.  The Baobab is the national tree of Senegal and very old specimens can be found in a central position in villages. This tree will have witnessed events throughout the century and beyond.
