Contemporary Artists from Mali
Imago Mundi - Luciano Benetton Collection

Texts by Luciano Benetton, Enrico Mascelloni, St. Peter Nyaga

140 artworks that compose a single, broad and engaging visual picture of the contemporary art scene in Mali and its protagonists; young talents and established artists committed to telling the world about Mali’s troubled reality and helping to rebuild hope. Works that speak a polyphonic language expressed in a surprising number of techniques, themes, suggestions and influences that convey a unique culture and respect for its traditions. 

Mali. Art between History and Myth. Contemporary Artists from Mali is an Imago Mundi collection, a cultural, democratic, global, non-profit project, promoted by Luciano Benetton with the aim of creating the widest possible mapping of the different contemporary artistic experiences of our world. In Imago Mundi, each country is represented by the works of established artists and new talents, commissioned with the maximum freedom of expression, whose only constraint is the 10x12 cm format.
