EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Stephen Pern takes us on a visual journey to the heart of Mali, Africa. The image showcases an intricate architectural detail of the Dogon Togu na, also known as a "case a palabres" which serves as an open-sided meeting place for village elders. The thatched roof, skillfully crafted from millet stalks, provides shelter and protection against the elements while exuding a sense of rustic charm. The composition beautifully captures the essence of African ethnic architecture with its unique blend of simplicity and elegance. The carved wooden posts supporting the roof not only showcase remarkable craftsmanship but also symbolize the rich cultural heritage and wisdom passed down through generations. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported to a time-honored tradition where community matters and collective decision-making thrives. It is in these sacred spaces that important discussions take place, conflicts are resolved, and knowledge is shared among esteemed elders. Stephen Pern's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate every nuance in this architectural marvel. Through his lens, he invites us to immerse ourselves in the vibrant culture and history that surrounds this remarkable structure. This print serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and Mother Nature's gifts. It reminds us of our interconnectedness with our surroundings while celebrating Africa's diverse heritage.
