THE STORY, IN BRIEF

ART AFRICA announced a monumental Abdoulaye Konaté textile installation for Zeitz MOCAA’s atrium in February 2020. The work honours Malian historian Youssouf Tata Cissé and French anthropologist Germaine Dieterlen, drawing on knowledge systems associated with Mali. Made with woven and dyed cloth, its large composition connects commemoration and material practice. The museum planned to unveil it on 12 February 2020 for a year-long presentation.
