Fatima Bintou Rassoul Sy is a curator based in Dakar, the capital of Senegal and the Programme Director at RAW Material Company (RAW), where she has been an integral part of the team since 2020. Her curatorial practice centres on archives and Black geographies, with a deep commitment to unearthing overlooked narratives and exploring how communities remember, inhabit, and reflect on their lived realities. Sy is dedicated to creating spaces that bring these stories to life—preserving collective memory and nurturing meaningful connections between people and places. At RAW, she contributes to the institution’s curatorial direction, discursive programming, and international collaborations.

Aside from RAW, Sy is also one of four guest curators for Walk&Talk — Bienal de Artes: Gestures of Abundance, a mentor for the Prince Claus Fund’s Building Beyond Fellowship Cycles 3 and 4, and an advisory contributor to the Matri-Archi(tecture) network.
