Elphinstone Institute Ethnographic Film Series - Baye Falls: Devotional Chanting in Senegal
-
This is a past event
Join us for a fascinating documentary, made in 2023, of Sufi spiritual teacher Ibrahima Fall, who played an important role during French colonial rule in strengthening the morale of oppressed Senegalese working and lower classes. His teaching prioritised hard work, modesty, and sharing, and Baye Fall ceremonies hold space for indigenous traditions to crossover within Islam. Directed by Adelina Sasnauskaite who will take part in a Q&A discussion at the end.
