EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Mary Jelliffe transports us to the heart of Mali, where ancient traditions and breathtaking architecture converge. The image showcases the Bandiagara Cliffs, a UNESCO World Heritage site that serves as a backdrop for an extraordinary sight - the newly painted Dogon Toguna. This sacred meeting place stands proudly amidst the rugged landscape, its raised floor inviting men to gather and engage in important discussions. Between sturdy pillars that support a thick millet thatched roof, we witness a scene reminiscent of centuries past. Seated on the elevated platform, these men embody wisdom and authority as they partake in palabres - traditional assemblies aimed at resolving disputes and making communal decisions. Their presence exudes a sense of unity and respect for their cultural heritage. The architectural brilliance of this structure is equally awe-inspiring. The intricate details carved into each pillar tell stories passed down through generations, while vibrant colors adorn every inch of its surface, breathing life into this historic space. Mary Jelliffe's keen eye captures not only the physical beauty but also the intangible spirit that permeates this African land. Through her lens, we are transported to an enchanting world where tradition meets modernity; where people come together under one roof to preserve their customs while embracing progress. This print serves as a testament to Africa's rich cultural tapestry and reminds us of our shared humanity across continents. It invites us to appreciate both the tangible structures that shape our surroundings and the intangible connections that bind us
