UPCT - Literature: Who is Léopold Sédar Senghor?

🖋 The Musée du Quai Branly in Paris has just unveiled its new exhibition: "Léopold Sédar Senghor and the arts" (until Nov 19, 2023). This major figure in literature and politics lived both in Senegal and in France throughout the entire 20th century. He spent time with other giants such as Aimé Césaire, Georges Pompidou, Pablo Picasso and many others, constantly advocating for the coming together of all cultures.
