Marionettes from Mali.

2009 - 2010 | Mali
This was an outstanding collection of puppets from this African country consisting of masks, animal heads and other ritual pieces of great colour and strong presence.

After visiting our exhibition, the art critic Edorta Kortadi wrote the following in a regional newspaper: “Volumes, shapes, colours and fabrics all contribute in these figures to a global and well-structured whole. Almost-inexpressive, ritual and mysterious faces take us to fantastic and magical worlds. In them we are aware of the sheer strength and mystery of distant Africa. Let yourself be amazed by a fabulous world full of magic”.
