Hamedine Kane (b. 1983) is a Senegalese-Mauritanian artist and director, living and working between Brussels, Paris and Dakar.

His research looks into African, African American and Afro-diasporic literature which historically influenced political, social and environmental activism. Kane is the co-founder of The School of Mutants, a research project initiated with Stéphane Verlet-Bottero. Kane’s recent exhibitions include Kaunas Biennale, Lithuania (2023), Dak’art Biennale (2022), Berlin Biennale (2022), Les Rencontres de Bamako (2022), Momenta Biennial, Montreal (2021), Taipei Biennial (2020) and Biennale de Lubumbashi, DRC (2019), Casablanca Biennial, Morocco (2019) and Documenta 14: Every Time A Ear Di Soun, Berlin, Germany (2017).
