Editorial Profile
OH Gallery is a Dakar-based contemporary art gallery whose public profile is shaped by a program of monographic and group exhibitions, off-site projects, mediation, and editorial activity. The gallery describes its work as creating dialogue between historical inheritances and contemporary perspectives, a position that gives it a research-oriented and scenographic dimension rather than a purely commercial one. Its exhibition history includes recent and past projects such as Corps à battre by Lune Diagne, A Tale of Modernism by Mischa Sanders & Philipp Putzer, When the Sun Goes Down by Emmanuel Tussore, Le Monde perdu by Soly Cissé, and Archives textiles by Viyé Diba. Across these projects, the program moves through painting, textile histories, sculpture, installation, photography, and material-based practices connected to African and diasporic contemporary art.
Within contemporary art in Dakar, OH Gallery contributes to a local scene where galleries, independent initiatives, and institutions operate in close relation to biennial culture, public programs, and international exchange. Its roster and exhibition archive include artists such as Amina Benbouchta, Oumar Ball, Hako Hankson, Aliou Diack, Jeewi Lee, Ibrahima Thiam, and Abdoulaye Konaté, suggesting a program attentive to both Senegalese contexts and broader African artistic networks. As part of the ecosystem of galleries in Dakar, the gallery is relevant for the way it combines exhibition-making with programs outside the gallery space and forms of cultural mediation. Its international dimension is also explicit: the gallery states that works by its artists circulate through fairs, biennials, and events, including Art Basel in 2022 and 2024.
