Harlem
As a 2015 Commissions artist, Elvira Clayton created Dioko (jo-ko, Wolof for “connections”), to engage and celebrate the Senegalese community within West Harlem while exploring its cultural parallels to Harlem’s African-American community. The project culminated in a public mobile installation and a formal exhibition of stories and photographs.
