EDITORS COMMENTS

This print transports us to the enchanting Dogon Country in Mali, specifically to the small settlement of Koundu. Nestled among towering sandstone rocks, this traditional village showcases the unique architecture and rich cultural heritage of the Dogon people. The dwellings in Koundu are characterized by their flat roofs, while the granaries used for storing millet feature pitched thatched roofs. These structures not only serve practical purposes but also reflect the deep connection between nature and spirituality within Dogon culture. One prominent feature captured in this image is a sacred earthen mound on the right side, adorned with an ostrich egg atop it. This altar holds great significance as it is used by the village hogon or priest for sacrificial rituals aimed at appeasing ancestors and purifying the entire community. The intricate buildings and walls surrounding this sacred site speak volumes about centuries-old traditions upheld by these animist communities. It's no wonder that Dogon Country has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site due to its exceptional cultural value.
