Fatoumata Diawara - 'Nsera'

Welcome to an imaginary world where traditions and modernity blend, ancestral memories and visionary ideas intertwine, and vibrant colors coexist with dark designs. Each scene splendidly reveals a facet of Mali or Africa: a monument in flames, reminiscent of a cultural and architectural heritage endangered by the country's conflicts, a blood-stained soccer ball, akin to a deadly World Cup, a boy throwing his weapon into the water.
Above all, there are the majestic landscapes of the continent, representatives of a growing underground punk culture, a beautiful ballet choreography featuring young dancers, and a quest for love under a millennium-old baobab tree.
