THE PEOPLE OF MALI Incredible @rt Dept ART HOME Program Goals Lesson Plans ... Art Home What do the people think about art What are their beliefs What are some masking trends today? Today, most of the population of Mali (estimated at 10,878,000 in 1995) is African. The major groups are the Bambara (the linguistic name for the Bamana and Bamakan people), Fulani (the English name for the Fulfulde or Peul groups), Soninka (which includes the Marka), Senoufo (the linguistic name for groups also referred to as "Senufo"), Songhai, Maninke (includes the Malinka and the Maninka), and the Dogon. Nomadic Tuaregs and other Berbers roam the Sahel and parts of the Sahara. In all, there are thirty-two languages listed for Mali, but French is the official language and Bambara is widely used. The Bambara are the largest cultural segment, but the Dogon (roughly 5% of the population) are world-renowned for their artwork and dance festivals (Grimes 1996; "Mali, Republic" 1998). The influence of the Bambara extends far beyond the areas that they inhabit. Art historians often include in discussion of the Bambara style the works of the Khassonke (of the Kassonke linguistic group- about 1% of the population of Mali), Malinke, Marka (of the Soninke group) and Minianka (the Minianka are of the Senoufo Mamara). Different variants of style cannot be easily identified from pieces that have been collected (Luezinger 1960, p. 76). While there are some distinctive differences, their sculpture was all in the hands of the Nuni (today called

Month's Details for: June 2005 Worship That Moves the Soul: A conversation with Roberta King — by Russell G. Shubin for Mission Frontiers, U. S. Center for World Mission Roberta King, Ph.D. came to Fuller Theological Seminary in January 2000 after serving 22 years in Africa with CB (Conservative Baptist) International. While in Africa, she was based at Daystar University in Nairobi, Kenya, where she facilitated the setting of Scripture to song in over 70 languages from peoples in 11 African and two Asian countries. At Fuller, King is now Associate Professor of Communication and Ethnomusicology. She also maintains her commitment to CBI, serving as an International Resource Specialist. Both positions allow her to expand her work in ethnomusicology beyond the African continent. Shubin: Was there a particular defining moment when you recognized the peculiar power of worship in mission? King: The defining moments are when you see people who are just "ho-hum" in worship, and then you provide an opportunity for them to worship in ways that are meaningful to them. One early experience was on a Sunday morning in Nairobi, Kenya. We sang "A Mighty Fortress is Our God" at half tempo. And then out came the Kenyan music with a kayamba (a Kenyan shaker-type instrument). Standing beside me was a Kenyan Presbyterian minister. All of a sudden he changed. He switched from being immobile to just being full of light and life and was worshiping wholeheartedly. That's when I started saying, "There's something going on here."

This very large Butterfly mask is from the Bobo people in
Burkina Faso. It was carved from one large piece of wood with a horn added to the front and then accented in colors using this beautiful geometric pattern, front and back. Butterflies are an indication of a very successful crop.

Building on Islamic Fulani The Mossi kingdoms of Yatenga and Ouagadougou, in what is today Burkina Faso, disintegrate. The agrarian Lobi peoples migrate into the Upper Volta region from present-day Ghana. Due to the British- and French-enforced ban on the international slave trade, slave exports in the region of Senegambia (present-day Senegal and the Gambia) are replaced by local products such as gum, gold, hides, ivory, beeswax, and groundnuts. By the 1830s, the average annual value of gum exports is five times what the slave trade was at its peak. Political stability resulting from the establishment of Islamic states in the Futa Jallon region allows Sudanic peoples access to the West African coast in Senegambia and what is today Guinea and Guinea-Bissau, influencing coastal peoples such as the Baga and Nalu. Sculptural forms and styles associated with inland cultures are integrated into the artistic practices of local peoples. Reflecting the presence of foreign populations are masks such as dimba created by the Baga and Nalu peoples that appear to represent Fulbe women originating from the Futa Jallon area. Other works by Baga and Nalu sculptors exhibit stylistic elements associated with Bamana art in present-day Mali such as horizontally oriented masks representing composites of animal forms.

On this page: Encyclopedia Wikipedia Mentioned In Or search: - The Web - Images - News - Blogs - Shopping African art Encyclopedia Source African art, art created by the peoples south of the Sahara. The predominant art forms are masks and figures, which were generally used in religious ceremonies. The decorative arts, especially in textiles and in the ornamentation of everyday tools, were a vital art in nearly all African cultures. The lack of archaeological excavations restricts knowledge of the antiquity of African art. As the value of these works was inseparable from their ritual use, no effort was made to preserve them as aesthetic accomplishments. Wood was one of the most frequently used materials—often embellished by clay, shells, beads, ivory, metal, feathers, and shredded raffia. The discussion in this article is limited to the works of the peoples of W and central Africa—the regions richest (because of the people's sedentary lifestyles) in indigenous art. Western Sudan and Guinea Coast In this region the style of woodcarving is abstract. Distortion is often used to emphasize features of spiritual significance. The figures of the Dogon tribe of central Mali stress the cylindrical shape of the torso. Some wooden carvings were made by an earlier people, the Tellem. Sculptures such as masks carved of soft wood are homes for the spirits and are discarded once they have been used in rituals. The Dogon have three distinctive styles of sculpture: masks incorporating recessed rectangles, ancestor sculptures carved in abstract geometric style used as architectural supports, and freestanding figures made in a cylindrical style. High-ranking Dogon families often had carved doors on their granaries.

Many African societies see masks as mediators between the living world and the supernatural world of the dead, ancestors and other entities. Masks became and still become the attribute of a dressed up dancer who gave it life and word at the time of ceremonies.
In producing a mask, a sculptor's aim is to depict a person's psychological and moral characteristics, rather than provide a portrait.
The sculptor begins by cutting a piece of wood and leaving it to dry in the sun; if it cracks, it cannot be used for a mask. African sculptors see wood as a complex living material and believe each piece can add its own feature to their work. Having made certain the wood is suitable, the sculptor begins, using an azde to carve the main features, a chisel to work on details and a rough leaf to sand the piece.
He then paints the mask with pigments such as charcoal (to give a black colour), powders made from vegetable matter or trees (for ochre/earth tones) or mineral powders like clay (to give a white colour).

    Contents IK Monitor 6(2) IKDM Homepage ikdm@nuffic.nl Editorial ‘Learning to listen is one of the most valuable lessons to be learned’, say the authors of the first article in this IKDM, quoting R. Chambers. The quote refers to the use of participatory rural appraisal methods among the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska (USA), where it is shown that the approach can be tailored to fit the needs of almost any community. The first thing that Marcella Szymanski, Lisa Whitewing and Joe Colletti learned when they stopped to listen was that direct participation in a group environment would not work. In their case, an indirect approach worked much better. By combining listening with looking and being sensitive to the community’s culture, insight was gained that resulted in community solutions to problems associated with community-driven land use. We use all of our senses to learn about the external world–sight, hearing, and even smell, taste and touch. In her article ‘ Learning local knowledge of soils: a focus on methodology ’, Deirdre M. Birmingham describes using participant observation to elicit local knowledge of soils from representatives of two ethnic groups in two different ecological zones of West Africa. The two groups, the Bété and the Senufo, taught her to use all her senses, including touch and smell, when identifying soils. She carefully reports her experiences.

    Carter B. Horsley
    The bad news is that the African, Oceanic Art auction offering at Sotheby's this season has fewer lots, but the good news is that Pre-Columbia Art is once again being offered at auction there after missing a couple of seasons.
    The cover illustration of the catalogue is Lot 53, an "important" Igbo female figure that is 54 ½ inches high. Finely detailed with a smiling mouth, pointed nose and incised with organic and geometric motifs, the figure has deep layers of red, yellow ochre, black, white and blue pigment. It was on loan to the National Museum of African Art of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington from 1989 to 1993.
    "This female figure," the catalogue entry noted, "represents one of the finest examples of Igbo sculpture, and certainly the hand of a master carver. The strength of the facial features and development of the surface compares most closely to another female figure from the Schindler Collection at the Dallas Museum of Art. However, this figure compares even more favorably in the lightness and attenuation of form couple with the subtle suggestion of movement. This figure is called ugonachomma , meaning 'the eagle seeks out beauty.' This saying metaphorically compares a young woman to an eagle as both are held to high moral and aesthetic ideals in Igbo thought."
