Ange Dakouo
Bamako, Mali
Rooted in the symbolism of Donso hunter amulets, his signature "woven gri-gris" are intricate compositions of folded newspaper and thread, reflecting resilience, protection, and collective memory. His work bridges craftsmanship and conceptual depth, forming textured landscapes that evoke themes of unity and vulnerability. With exhibitions spanning Africa and Europe, Dakouo’s practice continues to expand the dialogue between cultural heritage and modern artistic expression.
