‘Ataya’ means hot drink in Wolof. Ataya punctuates the days and the conversations, as one takes the time to prepare and enjoy it. Thierno Dia offers an introduction to the preparation of ataya and a discussion with his comrades from La Voix des Sans Papiers in Brussels, around the question of how to feed oneself in a situation of exile.
