Papa Oumar Diagne, an artistic director and director based in Dakar, heads up the artificial intelligence studio at TEDD Studio. Trained in graphic arts and 2D and 3D animation, he brings over six years of experience to the creation of images rooted in African memory. He co-directed Thiaroye 44, an audiovisual work created using artificial intelligence that recounts the massacre of Senegalese tirailleurs in 1944. The project won third prize for Best AI Film at the World AI Film Festival 2025 in Nice. His work also explores historical reconstructions and portraits of African figures, including Cheikh Anta Diop and Amadou Makhtar Mbow. He uses new technologies to give shape to stories from the African continent.
