Learn the rhythms of the djembe drum - an instrument played all over Africa and now by Western musicians too.
BOGOLAN ARTS
Learn the unique art of bogolan or "mud cloth," an all-natural eco-friendly art using handmade dyes from plant leaves and tree bark. Bogolan originated with the hunters, but now it is popular in all kinds of clothing, decorations and bed covers.
Learn to sculpt wood with African themes and techniques. Traditionally, wooden sculpture carried the traditions and history in its carvings as a substitute for writing. In Dogon culture, it was through the sculpted staff that people knew their history. Today it is a way to carry ideas and for aesthetic decorations.
Learn the vibrant art of indigo dyeing. Indigo cloth is made from 100% hand-spun cotton and dyed using natural grass. It is used to make women's and men's clothing.
