Have We Met? A Portrait of Mali

Posted July 29, 2010 By The African Art Store and has no comments yet.

Have We Met? A Portrait of Mali is Janet Goldner’s new installation with steel sculpture, video and sound. The gestural steel sculptures in the form of vessels, books, Y-sticks, zigzags, and beads were inspired by Malian philosophy and culture. A 15 minute split-screen video loop presents 4 aspects of daily life in Karenguimbe, a remote village in northern Mali. Janet first traveled to West Africa in 1973. Combining sculpture and video, Have We Met? engages the public in a dialogue to bridge Malian realities & Western audiences with images that are small, personal and human.

Bogolan: Shaping Culture through Cloth in Contemporary Mali (African Expressive Cultures)

Focusing on a single Malian textile identified variously as bogolanfini, bogolan, or mudcloth, Victoria L. Rovine traces the dramatic technical and stylistic innovations that have transformed the cloth from its village origins into a symbol of new internationalism.
