Hama Goro, Joost van Haaften and Harald Schole organised the project Station Gare Mali in Centre Soleil d'Afrique in Bamako. Our aims were mutual exchange and to show Centre Soleil's indoor activities to the neighbourhoud and by doing so, to create an awareness about art for a new public. Over 20 artists from Benin, Mali, Togo and the Netherlands worked together. The banners on this photo are the result of a workshop on Malian proverbs. They all respond to the proverb ce que la barbe dit le jour, le pagne l'a décidé la nuit ( a gender variation on man proposes, God disposes ). People passing by, stopped and gave their spontaneously response. Gender questions were intensively discussed by the artists during the workshop.
