Huit Facettes has resolved the historical contradiction of modernity to be aesthetically autonomous and at the same time socially relevant. The group focuses on procedural social interventions in the form of workshops. Huit Facettes mediates between the “third” and the western world, between globalization processes and the multitude of individual temporalities. In workshops in rural Senegal, in villages like Joal, Ndem and Hamdallaye Samba M'Baye, Huit Facettes tries to create an ever-increasing polarization between the city and the suburbs, between art and entrepreneurship, between handicrafts and handicrafts (batik, stained glass, ceramics, and Pyrography).
At Documenta11 , Huit Facettes, together with Belgian non-governmental organizations promoting new technologies in suburban areas, presented a documentation of their social work in Hamdallaye Samba M'Baye in Senegal since 1999.
