Visual Arts & Crafts

Malian crafts include Dogon wood carvings, bogolan (mud cloth), metalwork, and leather goods. These aren’t just decorative—they tell stories, represent spirits, and reflect social rank or spirituality.


Ethnic Diversity

Mali’s cultural richness stems from its diverse peoples—Bambara, Dogon, Fulani, Tuareg, Songhai, and more. Each group brings its language, rituals, dress, and customs, shaping a mosaic of cultural life.
