Description
Since I introduced the topic as the “holistic architecture of Mali,” it is only right that we now head on to central Mali.
In the Mopti region, there lies no more than half a million of the remaining Dogon people. Theirs is a story of strive and their place of dwelling is also a perfect representation of a fight to defend their spirituality.
Dogon architecture, nestled in the safety of Bandiagara Escarpment, was home to those who resisted the forceful Islam conversion in the 1400’s.
