LE SOLEIL (2023)
Designer: Mirelle van Tulder
Pages: 48
Format: 270 x 370 mm
Price: € 50,00
Through a correspondence ad in Jeune Afrique magazine, Ilse Cardoen connected with Elhadji Sall. They started writing each other letters. In the summer of 1986 Ilse visited Elhadji and his family in Quartier Kebe Der in Guediaway Dakar, Senegal.
Ilse and her son Kwabena asked Mirelle van Tulder to create a book from Ilse’s personal archive. Delighted to work with this beautiful archive, Mirelle chose to use the semi-analog Riso printing technique to recapture the vivid memories present in the photographs. It was saddening to find out that Elhadji Sall passed away in July 2022. This book is a tribute to him and everyone who gave Ilse Cardoen the ‘Teranga’ of Senegal.Project by: Mirelle van Tulder in collaboration with Kwabena Appiah-Nti

Roots to Fruits is a magazine about music; its migration and origins, and its role against oppression. The first issue is dedicated to Highlife and its vital role in the struggle for independence and the creation of an African identity during the time of Kwame Nkrumah. It features an article by Dele Adeyemo, and a visual essay by Mirelle with images from the archive of the Tropenmuseum and KIT (Royal Tropical Institute).
Dele Adeyemo’s ‘The Modernizing Beat’ rereads the production of space in a modernizing Ghana through highlife, taking the modernist New Town and Tema Harbour as a case study about how the emergence of the ‘worksong’ has governed urbanization in Ghana.
