Senegal's Goree (GO-RAY) Island was once one of the largest slave-trading centres. From the 15th to the 19th century slaves left the island to start a dangerous journey across the Atlantic Ocean. Every year, tourists flock to learn more about the island's past. But they will also get a chance to see some works of art. Young and old artists use the island's scenic views as inspiration.
