A graduate in film studies from the Université Charles de Gaulle Lille III in France, Senghor is the founder of the Waru Studio in Dakar, Senegal. Conceived as a platform for artistic research through the use of new technologies, the studio serves as a laboratory for experimentation in art, science and technology, ecology and the politics of change. Convinced that art is a very effective weapon to solve the problems of Africans, Senghor encourages young people coming from very diverse backgrounds to use the possibilities Waru Studio offers to sharpen their artistic and technical intuition for the benefit of the Senegalese and Africans.
