Seyni Awa Camara is a contemporary artist from Senegal known for creating terracotta figures that reflect the invisible and supernatural. Growing up in Bigona, a forest village in Senegal, she was introduced to sculpture by her mother, a potter. Awa Camara's work often depicts pregnant women or women carrying multiple children or creatures on their backs. She shapes her sculptures in the courtyard of her home and fires them in an open-air pyre. Her spiritually charged works have been exhibited globally, including at prestigious venues like the Venice Biennale and the Centre Pompidou. Her art can be found in collections such as the National Museum of Art Norway, Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, and the Fenix Museum in Rotterdam.
